LOL!!

I would love, love, love to live in Southern California, but my boyfriend is convinced that it's going to fall into the ocean one of these days because of an earth quake! I'll have to tell him about your post. How intense does an earth quake have to be to do some real damage? How often does that level of an earth quake happen? I'm always trying to think of one thing or another to convince him to move. I'm hoping one of these days I'll irritate him enough and he'll just give in!
