1. Jesus, Nepal again and constant Japan

I live in Los Angeles and feel at least 1-2 very minor earthquakes - two weeks.

Prayers!

3. L.A. too. The other afternoon, my dog jumped on the couch and I felt my stomach drop...

because I thought it was an earthquake. I'm not a jumpy person, but that one got me for some reason.
But quakes have been in the back of my mind because of all these large ones around the world.
Maybe it's good to be mentally prepared as well as having supplies.

4. Here in LA there are some 10 earthquakes every day (1.5 or greater), over 2,600 every year. . .

Here's a link if you care to keep track: http://earthquaketrack.com/recent

Oh, look: 123 earthquakes worldwide today.

There's a link as well where you can see what's happening in L.A. and South California: 10 today (so far), 56 in the last 7 days, 233 in the past month.

Hate to be blasé but that's the reality. You're either prepared and lucky or your dependent on the kindness of strangers. Very little middle ground.

6. I felt that earthquake, although just barely

Around here, its intensity registered as a "Shindo 2". Some of the strongest shaking was in the areas that were hard hit by the 2011 megaquake, with the strongest being "Shindo 5-upper"
