Everytime I'm out in SoCal, I wonder if it'll be the time that the next BIG one will hit! ... Especially when I'm up 50 feet in the air in a bucket-lift checking inventory in our warehouse.
I went back and checked my facts, we had a 3.9 in May, followed by this 4.5 ... both centered within 10 miles of each other. This is a known fault area, and I remember feeling some rumbles as a kid, but nothing recent.
Our local Nuclear Power Plant is built on this same fault-line, but they assure us that it can withstand the quakes that the area could produce! =8^O
