Which was your favorite Puke?
For some reason, I never remember the names given to the earthquakes. I live in San Diego so am not always in danger of those up near LA, but we can feel them. I was up in West Covina during the Northridge Quake and remember feeling that one. My family is in LA and for a short time even lived with my grandparents in Montebello and so remember a few from visits and things. Dishes falling, the exterior of the fireplace cracking and shifting and that type of stuff. Oh yeah, and a few in the dorms up in Pamona...man, the alarms from all the cars in the parking lot was nuts! Now, my wife is from right in the city of San Fran and I believe she remembers the big one up there from about 10 yrs ago which was during a World Series I think. I haven't felt any in quite some time though, I think we are due.
I saw a show on earthquakes once and I remember something about how the east coast USA gets them alot but since their rock is a bit different, the wave of the earthquake doesn't travel like it does out here and so you don't feel them as much. I'm guessing it's a similar thing with the UK. But plate techtonics is plate techtonics and we are all moving.
