It makes perfect sense to me. I lived off and on for 20 years in Los Angeles and everytime there was an earthquake, we ran for the doorways, or outside. I was there in 1994 when they had the 6.7 magnitude Northridge quake and it was the scariest event I've ever experienced. It took 2 weeks for the aftershocks to stop. A 5.4 like L.A. just had, is nothing in comparison to a 6.7, but that also depends on the epicenter of the quake. I have friends that still live in L.A., they were shaken up and a few things fell off their bookshelves at home, but the media builds it up. |
