Having lived in So. Cali for over 17 years, one grows use to earthquakes after a while. People that haven't been here very long get freaked out over a little tremor here and there... so I was wondering how many people really are afraid of quakes...

Please list where you are from too (earthquake area, non earthquake area)

Then again, I would be terrified if a tornado suddently hit us!

well i live in NY so ive only been in a few earthquakes n they really havent been that bad but ive been in my fair share of hurricanes n tornado storms...tornados are the only element i fear..since my friend lots his brother in one...plus ive lik only a few miles away from some tornados b4 n they are creepy since they look lik the commin rite at you...seriously earthquakes are pretty low on the enviromental disaster list for me...guess its diff for you though since u live in cali..the american home of the earthquake

I'm in VA, so I've never been through an earthquake, and I don't want to (who would?). I am scared of anything that can cause some serious damage: earthquakes, wind, flood, lightning, fire (how ironic), but I'm not too scared since I live a pretty safe life. Hurricanes, I've experienced. I've been through quite a few hurricanes...

I live in cali but i just sleep through all of them but i really want to see a hurrican.

I've never been through an earthquake, but I'd be scared out of my life.

I never been through an earthquake before but if I get the chance.. probably be shocked for the first time.. if its just a small one then I should know what to do =p if its really big then I would be freaked out
o.O just remembered that there was last year or some time that we had a tremor caused by the earthquake at indonesia if I am not wrong.. people felt them but I seriously didn't notice anything different

hmm...im not really affraid of earthquake, though they often came in my city

madwiz: do u mean the earthquake in bandar lampung a couple of years ago?

I live north of SF, and I'm not too afraid. I don't feel many earthquakes, but I'm not afraid.

I'm more afraid of black holes and whatnot.

Interesting. Since you live in San Francisco, where were you when the 1989 earthquake struck the Bay Area?

I've experienced several earthquakes too and I have healthy respect for them.

i experience a couple here in the Philippines, but theyre were'nt that dangerous...but still they freaked me out because everything started getting blurry and i was losing balance..

I live in southern Indiana, and apparently we're supposed to be afraid of some evil fault line down here that cause some glass to share like 80 years ago. So, I'm not really afraid.
