The first place I ever experienced an earthquake was actually in New York, but it was just a teeny tiny thing. My first "real" quake was the Northridge quake in L.A. I think it was a 6.4 or something -- that was an adventure.
The damage on the East Coast would also be because of the types of structures that are out there. Nothing is built to eathquake code. The buildings wouldn't last in a big quake.
Not thinking about it is a good idea. *G* Unless you're writing a doomsday scenario fic. That would be cool too.

And BP makes me furious.
