I thought it was a joke when I heard about this on the radio driving into work this morning. Crazy.
Pffft...that size happens daily in CA. My most memorable was the Whittier quake in the late 80s. Thankfully, I wasn't in San Francisco during the Loma Prieta quake and thankfully I was during the Northridge quake.
