Earthquake!

Another major earthquake?
Don't panic - every year we average 17 earthquakes worldwide with a magnitude of at least 7.0.

In the first quarter of this year we've had four - putting us on track to meet our annual average.

Sometimes it's crazy but it's over before you can react. It's a part of life out here but you always know it could go Haiti if the big one ever hit.

@ Val - I grew up out in Riverside - I became used to them.

@ FreeMan - We used to be able to tell if an earthquake was a 3.8 or a 4.2 even before it was announced on the news.
The only thing odd about this year is that the earthquakes have happened in more populated regions.

@ Ojo - If I did I'd be paid.
