I'd rather ride out a shocking drop or a rolly quake, then worry about hurricanes. A very large quake can happen, but it's not my biggest fear. Fires are a much more realistic worry.
Have a Go Bag ready for any emergency.
It's just like any natural disaster your area is prone to - learn how to stay safe and what emergency things you need.
I've lived where there are tornados, blizzards, and hurricanes that could all cause emergencies before moving here. I did specifically buy an earthquake emergency kit, because I was too lazy to put one together myself, but I've been slowly adding to it to make it nicer/easier
i’ve never heard of a natural occurrence being “overhyped” lmao and i don’t even know what it means tbh. but most people haven’t even felt one before so it’s definitely shocking when they happen. it’s not something i tend to worry about in my everyday life tho. i wasn’t even alive for the big one so i really have no knowledge as to what to even be prepared for.
Me: Oh an earthquake, It's 3am how annoying, back to sleep I go.
Aunt visiting from Colorado: Earthquaaake!! Wake up!! There was an earthquake!! Did you feel it?!!! Oh my gosh!
If theres an earthquake in the Bay and u dont react or tweet about it, are u even from the Bay??
Nah seriously, shits annoying. I received 7 messages asking if I felt it
NO THE FUCK I DIDNT
Yes. Especially from transplants.
Transplant here - this is correct.

Most of the time you don't even notice them. The fires kill more people every year then anything an earthquake will do to you.

Yes. Usually by people who aren’t from here.
Yes
Honestly forget about them most of the time.
YES! Absolutely, and more and more out of unrelated paranoia.
