I was bored because you were all working 
Oh guys just heard there's been an earthquake in California?!
*goes to research*
oh, excuse my ignorance, but is that a bad one? we don't really get them in Scotland.
I'm glad it didn't reach you sparky 
yah 5.8 in Chino Hills.
A lot of scientists are afraid SoCal will get a 7.8+ in the next 30 years. I've heard some saying its 99% likely.
The one that hit China was an 8.0 Andy.
It's a moderate quake, Andy. It scared some people, but there probably wasn't much property damage.
****! that's not good......

Based on my [limited] geological study, I agree with that likelihood, Dave.

If the 7.8 does hit will that reach you?

man that is bad......I'd freak we Brits are so naive with stuff like this!
Yeah, 7.8 is big. The quake that triggered the tsunamis in the Indian Ocean a few years ago was a 9.3 though, second largest ever recorded to the 1960 Chile earthquake.
We had Hurricane Hugo come through Charlotte in the 80's... nothing since then.
I'm glad I'm not alone jules, we get all of them over here but in a small scale very rarely we get anything that causes more than a few trees to fall over.
Maybe I WILL move to Texas with my sister... at least you know when a hurricane's on its way. Not much warning with earthquakes, unless you have constant access to seismographic equipment, and even then, not always.
Gonna be worrying about you now sparky
