Those are kinda regular here bro.

I live in SF and most people are just like "Oh...earthquake."

There probably won't be an earthquake that causes a shitstorm until another one like the 1906 one hits. But we'll be prepared for that, so. Meh.

Its fun in a weird way to be in an earthquake.

it's fun until you realize that your possessions will be destroyed, and for the most part people aren't covered for earthquake insurance. So your shits destroyed and your dead and/or injured. Other then that it's pretty fun

If it's not over a 5 pointer, nobody honestly gives a shit.

I felt a 6 pointer in Paso Robles when I was 17. That was a real quake...

But really, it all depends on the depth and where it was centered.

A 3.4 at the surface wouldn't push a glass off the counter... It's more violent to take your car over a speedbump...

Yeah in scale like that. But what I mean is I live in chch, New Zealand. Within 6 months we had a 7.1 and a 6.3 and the 6.3 was way more violent than the 7.3. With the 7.1 no one died, a few building collapsed etc but with the 6.3 .... Well lets just say shit got fucked.

1989 Loma Prieta quake that hit SF and the surrounding area was a 6.9 with a surfacewave 7.1.

It was 11 miles deep, and struck 80 miles (120km or so) from San francisco and Oakland, yet it fucked shit up hardcore there... collapsing bridges, causing pipes and sewers to burst, and collapsing a ton of buildings. However... it downright flattened Santa Cruz where it hit... that town was dusted, just about.

The 6.3 that hit Christchurch was only 3 miles deep, so it likely had faster ground acceleration. It didnt hit for as long, but the initial jolt of that thing facewrecked the area a little harder than the Loma Prieta quake...
