When I was on BART, I actually thought there were some  punk kids trying to rock the train back and forth and didnt think much of it until the lights went off.  It wasn't till I got out side and saw.. dust and rubble from buildings rubbing up against each other I realized.. hmm this was a decent sized earth quake.   I actually worry about places like Chicago and smaller areas that aren't on a fault line (like the Seattle one a few years ago)  California is built for earthquakes where as there are many cities that aren't.   Just like Haiti, their structures weren't built for earthquakes, at least here they are.
