yep , thought it was the start of the big one , we get rumbles all the time but at a 4 pointer you start to think ......went thru the last big one in 89 and that was scary ( was filling up at a petrol station when that one came and overhead power lines started popping and dropping ) .
We have about 6 million living in the Bay Area so when the big one does come there will be casulties .......What with Earthquakes , Hurricanes and Tornados down south and the harsh winters in the north-east it kind of explains why North America never had any large scale ancient cultures/settlements or a large population prior to Columbus and mass migration fom Europe , all the old American cultures who erected permamant buildings, Inca, Aztec, Maya etc were in either Mexico or South America, apart from a few pueblos in New Mexico there is very little trace of any long term settlement , the native Amrican being mainly a nomadic hunter gatherer . kind of makes you wonder wether should we really be living here at all
