Hi Bear,
Meant to thank you for your post, as well.
Good for you for being shaken but not stirred!
I worked in Northern California and have cousins in Pasadena, and as
much as I love that amazing state, I honestly would probably not want to live
there.
Stories and histories of quakes just have a primitive terror, even
when rationally, you're certainly right about the relative risks.
I'm a triple Taurus...

Something about the earth moving under my feet...
Not that I know anything else or care about astrology, but given
my passion for dirt, and mountains, somehow made sense to me!
We did run outside at my workplace, maybe that was foolish. But it's an old, one-story
building. I usually think that the folks in the street are perhaps in greater danger from
shattered glass and other large things falling on them.
At any rate, my body took me out the door (I was sitting beside an open
door to the outside at the moment, enjoying the open air) before my brain
got involved!
Hugs and hope you're well, too--
Hops
to fall....
