I have lived in Hollywood for 8 months now and... i have felt 2 or 3 earthquakes nothing to crazy, first one freaked me out other two where just eh nothing really.

Ever since i have been here people keep saying the BIG ONE is coming

I Usually don't worry about this stuff but sadly i am 19 and still at times get that feeling of when i was younger and lived Texas, and i was terrified of tornados eventually i learned to just push off warning. But i was terrified of them for awhile!

But idk what does everyone think of this?, and the one thing that is disgusting i have read a bunch of articles on this and a lot of the comments where thing's like, I Hope L.A Fall's into the city and wipes out everyone in it or i hope all of California falls in or bring all the illegal Immigrants to L.A NOW!

How can people be such soulless assholes? sometimes i do loose faith in people

I've lived here all my life, I survived and did some S&R work after the '89 quake and I too am waiting for the "Big One".

My greatest hope is that it'll chase some of these fake-ass outsiders back out of the state and housing prices will fall back to affordable.

Dirt-Surfers UNITE!!!

This is WHY I can't move to California. Some Cali relatives treat earthquakes like regular storms.

Yeah one of my friend's his mom and them used to live in a big house[She was a soap actress back in the day lol] And in 94 there house was destroyed utterly by the big quake. And it is scary hearing about it=[ but the people did survive well quite a few.... i just don't know if i should be scared or not, seem's there always predicting the ''big one'' and i have learned to brush most earthquake warnings off so..idk

But they happen all the time . . .

The Big One is the only one I worry about.

But where can you live without life threatening natural hazards?

Wait until you HEAR an earthquake . . ..

I'll expound on that . . .

Sometimes it sounds like a big truck or freight train before you feel it. Just as your wondering how you could be hearing a train . . . you feel it.

Sitting at home one day, it sounded like a truck had slammed into the house, a big bang and the house shook. No truck, an earthquake.

I think the noise is caused by displaced air from the quake, like a tsunami wave . . .

I Agree with your earlier comment, saying where can you live without anything hazardous or disaster filled. Very true coming from Texas i am used to the threat of tornadoes but all my friend's in Cali are like f..k that lol kind of like how i felt about earthquakes

I've felt many earthquakes but only heard one once, and it did sound just like that

Earthquakes scare me every time, you just don't know how big it will be or how long it will last
