I'm a Bay Area native, and for as long as I can remember we've always had small quakes happen on a regular basis, you get used to it. They're actually kind of fun. We've been warned for years about "The Big One", and, geologically speaking, it's a given it's gonna happen.

However, this is the first time I've ever heard such adamant "soon" warnings from credible sources, so... Glad we have preps. If we survive that and the accompanying tsunami that is.
