I'll field this question.
No.
Rather, what do you consider "heaps"? And how big of an earthquake would actually be noticeable? The last one was maybe a month ago or so, very small...I thought it was just my girlfriend falling out of bed :p
Can't even remember the last one before that. I think the majority that happen are so small that people can't notice them. Nothing major has happened in a while. |

Ok, well, I discussed this with you already : But, to the rest of you Californians, are they so un-noticable because you're just used to them? I've never been in one, but i figure that the tiniest shake would get my attention in a big way.
Yes? Or no? |

There's faults all up and down the coast. When I lived in Seattle we had a bunch of little ones. LA's supposed to get HUGE ones every 10 years or something (which means we're due for a big one now). I've lived here almost 3 years and we only had a small one last year where everyone got on their cell phones and was like "OMG wAs thAt aN earffffQUACK? omg I totaLLY thaught It waRe my Neighbors haivng sexs too!"
Supposedly a ginormouhugebiging Earthquake will one day leave California underwater. Seattle's expecting some big 9.0 Earthquake or something too every 500 years (due for it now). I dunno but I think they'll both hit at inconvenient times, like when Apple announces the new halogram TV or something. |

I remember we had one in the Toronto area when I was a kid...just a wee one. At the time, we all thought it was blasting in a nearby construction site, we found out it was an earthquake on the news later.
Ah, memories.... |
