I have a friend from the primary school days who’s a nurse in an L.A. hospital and she put this on Facebook just now:

Little earthquakes are good. They are not a precursor to “The Big One”. The smaller ones are releasing pressure so there isn’t a Big One. There are no “pre-shocks.” Be happy for the little ones.

Right? I mean, I know Bill Hicks made a nice joke out of L.A. plunging into the sea (Arizona Bay), but there’s still a bunch of humans there and earth-caused calamities bum me out.
