We live here and have since 1969.

Nevee had earthquakes, last one recorded since this most recent spate was 1950.

We have plenty of problems with homes and the foundations they are on. Settling, cracks in walls, etc. Sliding, not so much.

We live within 2 miles of where the epicenters of all the most recent quakes have been.

Today was extreme.
