4. I don't know if most of the people I am around are California natives or not; most wouldn't know that I am.

My first large quake: San Fernando Earthquake February 9, 1971 M6.5, five miles away.
Next was Whittier Narrows Earthquake October 1, 1987 M5.9, 13 miles away but right under my parents.
Not real big, but real close Chino Hills Earthquake July 29, 2008 M5.4
Feel anything over 5.0 but usually without damage.

I consider a kit and boots by the bed a wise practice.
