I moved to DC from LA a couple of months ago, and I had JUST gotten over thinking that every shake or window rattle was an earthquake. I must have mentioned a dozen times that our condo building couldn't possibly be built to Los Angeles codes because it rattles every time a bus goes by. That ledge of the Kennedy Center over Rock Creek Parkway? Terrifying to an Angeleno!

Ya, and when the ground started shaking? I was confused. CONFUSED! It couldn't possibly be an earthquake. No, I'd been made fun of for being a silly Californian too many times. Silly, paranoid Californians with our crazy 'earthquakes'.
