I actually have heard about that... earthquakes out here are damaging because they're large and frequent, but we are also prepared and have buildings and freeways designed to be as safe as possible. But a larger earthquake (5.0+) anywhere else in the country would be far more devastating than like a 7.0 here. They just aren't prepared, and things would get more damage. I forget where I heard about your earthquake threat out there, probably one of those discovery channel type things.
