2 years late

I moved from Los Angeles to England on May 26, 2008. I just found out that on February 26, 2008, England had a magnitude 5.2 earthquake. It was the largest earthquake here in 25 years. I didn't even know England had earthquakes, but it turns out they have them all the time.

Still, the Richter scale is logarithmic, so the Northridge quake was some 50-times stronger then the 5.2 quake, and most quakes here are less than 2.0. And while Britain had 6 quakes in the past 30 days, California had 10 yesterday.

I'm just grateful the quake occurred before I arrived. Otherwise, I would never live it down.
