Yeah, earthquakes always get brought up when people talk about CA weather, but they happen so rarely. There was a decently sized one (i.e. one you could actually feel) a few months ago. There hasn't been a huge one that caused any damage for quite some time, though. There was that big one in 1989, but besides that...I'm not sure.

On the other hand, I see what you're saying about the lack of warning. I guess seismologists can kind of see them coming, but not really.
