When you watch people drive in by the truckfull and as soon as there is a quake, you watch them move right on out.

I hope there is enough Californians to keep this thread going, when I was younger my father said we were going on holiday to California turns out he was talking about the one in East Anglia. Most disappointing holiday ever.

Too many to list. When a few water drops from a sprinkler hits someone's windshield and they slam on their brakes.

You feel a little rumble and run for the doorway automatically, not realizing there's a truck driving by outside. [8\|] <----- survivor of the '89 Loma Prieta quake; 10 miles from the epicenter. [sm=wave.gif]

Lockit -> RE: you know you live in california when........ (8/26/2009 11:27:44 AM)
The jerky quakes are more scary. The rolling one's can be beautiful. The land just rolls in ripples or like small wave's. Watching open land roll is a trip. Of course, you know you're in California when you've had fires and then rain and somebodies house is falling down a hill.

I grew up in Seattle & learned that early in my life, that "Oh, just an earthquake". Loma Prieta was my second 7+ quake. I don't remember the first one as I was a toddler. I've never been afraid of them. I was in San Francisco when the pretty big one hit in 89. Walked the 5+ miles home from work since the electric busses weren't running. When I got to the top of the hill on Geary out by the beach, I turned around & watched the Marina burn. Still don't scare me.

You know you're in California when the three seasons are Fire, Flood & Earthquakes.

DemonKia -> RE: you know you live in california when........ (8/26/2009 11:31:15 AM)
lol & [humor] Rain, my take is that one is adjudged a 'real Californian' by how blase they are about shakes . . . . [;)] &, hey now, y'all are jus' pickin' on those of us in the Golden State outta jealousy . . . . . . I love Cali, wouldn't wanna live anywhere else, given me druthers . . . . . . So. Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah . . . . . [8D]

Lockit -> RE: you know you live in california when........ (8/26/2009 11:34:23 AM)
<<< sobs... I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but California... but I have to! You know you live in California when within a mile you can get any kind of food you want and it's good because of all the competition.

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: you know you live in california when........ (8/26/2009 11:35:38 AM)
You know you live in California when you can get anything delivered. [8D]

DemonKia -> RE: you know you live in california when........ (8/26/2009 11:37:49 AM)
With apologies to you, Lockit; I feel your pain . . . . . . Even podunk little towns like the one I live in have multiple Asian & Mexican choices, all cheap, all at least adequate . . .. . . & while the cars might get built in Detroit (or wherever), they get driven here. This is the land that cars built, for those so inclined . . . . . .

I have lived in California for the entire parts of my life I have been old enough to remember,, and I have only ever experienced an earth quake once in my life I can remember. quote: ORIGINAL: Rainfire I grew up in California, first in Hollister then the Bay Area.

You know you live in California when you buy property in the desert thinking one day it will be beachfront property and then a quake comes and you find out you're on the wrong side of the seven foot crack in your yard and you would have fallen into the ocean rather than watched it from your front window.

You know you live in California when you're walking down the sidewalk and a guy wearing a foot-tall red and white striped "Cat In The Hat" hat and a white robe goes rolling past you on rollerblades with 8-inch wheels, playing an electric guitar through a battery-powered amplifier strapped to his back, and you think to yourself - "well sure, why not?"

Lockit -> RE: you know you live in california when........ (8/26/2009 12:03:46 PM)
ROFLMAO Panda! You know you're in California when at a party with lots of people and you're the only native.
