Here is an article about it from The Wall Street Journal: Strong Quake Shakes Southern California Associated Press July 30, 2008 12:46 p.m. LOS ANGELES -- A strong earthquake shook Southern California on Tuesday, causing buildings to sway and triggering some precautionary evacuations. No immediate damage was reported. The jolt was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego, and slightly in Las Vegas. Preliminary information from the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the quake at magnitude 5.4, down from an earlier estimate of 5.8, centered 29 miles east-southeast of downtown Los Angeles near Chino Hills in San Bernardino County. (See USGS data.) Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said there were no immediate reports of damage or injury in Los Angeles. San Bernardino County fire dispatch also had no immediate reports of damage. The quake struck at 11:42 a.m. PDT. Buildings swayed in downtown Los Angeles for several seconds. Workers quickly evacuated some office buildings. "It was dramatic. The whole building moved and it lasted for a while," said Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore, who was in the sheriff's suburban Monterey Park headquarters east of Los Angeles. The 1994 Northridge earthquake under Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley was magnitude 6.7. It killed 72 people, injured more than 9,000 and caused $25 billion in damage in the metropolitan area. The damage created by an earthquake depends greatly on where it hits. A 7.1 quake -- much stronger than Northridge -- hit the Mojave Desert in 1999 but caused only a few injuries and no deaths. California is one of the world's most seismically active regions. More than 300 faults crisscross the state, which sits atop two of Earth's major tectonic plates, the Pacific and North American plates. About 10,000 quakes each year rattle Southern California alone, although most of them are too small to be felt.

I don't either. Mass very rarely gets Earthquakes. It's been like 107 years since our last earthquake. So I wondered the same question. |

Well... I live in Jacksonville, FL which is in Northeast Florida... Hurricanes are most likely to hit in the south or along the coast.... My house is also about 30 miles away from the beach... We get the high winds, tornado warnings and rain but I've never had a hurricane...
