I know right, I could never live there.

Not only is it one of (if not THE) most populated region(s) in America but it's sitting on a fault line that is well overdue a large earthquake.

I shouldn't be criticising though. One of these days there's gonna be a huge earthquake here too, and I'm certainly not doing anything regarding relocation.

You are fairly close to a plate boundary, you should be alright though.

In 1977 there was a massive earthquake where I live, and the city was totaled. Many people died.

...Oh...

Maybe you are a little bit closer to the plate boundary than I thought.

Do houses now have quake proofing? What magnitude was the 1977 one?
