We had a 3.5 here in Michigan back in 1997, and it was barley noticed.    3.3 is weak.

I lived in Northridge CA till the 72 quake...It freaked my mother out so much my dad quit his job as head of Lockheed's PR dept(Horizons) and we moved to canada...Yeah,it was a big mistake but he put his family ahead of his career.

All i remember from the quake was walkin from the kitchen with a bowl of honeycombs to watch cartoons when the house started shaking and the bowl went flying.We had elastic bands on all the cupboard doors but everything was still smashed.

We waited it out inside the car on the driveway...

My other memory was that of a mountain fire where it was literally raining ashes for days.

Ya!  You could see a Ring around the hills, just surrounded by it.  Honeycombs and cartoons eh?  Sounds about right, I was 9 at the time.  Remember the oil refinery fire?  They used film from that fire in alot of the old TV shows.

Gawd I hated SoCal :)

I've experienced my share of them while living in Alaska for 14 years (mainly in Palmer and Anchorage) in the '80s and early '90s as a kid. Each one is different.

I remember going through one in western North Carolina in the 60's. Pretty scary stuff when the house moves. But at least they come and are then gone. A hurricane on the other hand can last for days. But at least you can see them coming.

If its a big quake , your pritty much at the mercy of it until the main shake is over . about all you can do if your lucky is get to a door way and watch all your stuff come flying off shelves ect .

How can they have a tsunami if they've already sunk into the pacific?

From what I've heard, California is going to slowly drift off into the pacific.  It probably won't sink.

However, a more deadly and explosive fault line that lies beneath the SE USA will one day rip open and sink all of it.  They have no idea when.

if we have another full "Cascadia" shift then the tsunami heads toward Japan ,Hawaii , ect  

the only biggie is it will be trigged from a 9.0 + quake , this will pritty much flatten the west coast just from the quake we wont need the tsunami.

The San Andreas Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault and the part of California west of the fault line will not slip into the Pacific and become an island.  The part west of the fault travels north when the fault slips, so in about few dozen million years or so, San Diego will be in the Yukon, not in the Pacific Ocean.

Here's a nice color picture that makes it easy to understand.

Just think, in 20 million years we'll deprive canada of an entire coast line.
