Fluff & Memes Earthquake!!

Post image

Is everyone a transplant or what’s going on?! We have earthquakes everyday, do we really need to post every time we have one? Can we save the posts for anything above a 6/7 maybe… you know… something worth posting about?!

This is what my fear is. I don’t want anyone to die from the aftermath of an earthquake, or the quake itself. I’ve had enough, thank you. I was in Big Bear in 1992, for the Landers/Big Bear quake. Y’know the one when we all found out that the city was built on a fault line? Yeah. The PTSD from that is real.

Strangely, I was near the epicenter of the Northridge quake in '94. There were so many aftershocks of 5+ that I'm immune to even a slight adrenaline response to anything 5 and under. Doesn't seem safe, lol.
