Another Day, Another Warning

Since moving to Southern California, I've realized that earthquakes happen a lot less than I envisioned.  I expected to have at least felt a little rumble or two by now but the ground has remained as stable as it was in NY.  For the past couple weeks I've been following a couple "earthquake prediction" sites that regularly have the warning bell set at 80-90% for a major earthquake, so far its all been a let down, but todays warning is 98% for a 6.9, so maybe I'll get "lucky".  The heat on the other hand has not disappointed, being more near the beach in Orange County than my Los Angeles neighbors, the heat is typically 5-10 degrees cooler, two weeks ago however the heat soared all over the LA metropolitan area and set the highest record ever for LA at 113F.  So at the very least I've already experience half of the apocalyptic weather LA can occasionally produce.  I'll still take it over NY winter though, but I guess we'll have to see if I'm still saying that after the earthquake :P
