Two earthquakes shook northern California on Thursday -- the first one was a magnitude 4.0 and hit the San Francisco Bay area at 2:41 p.m. The second, a 3.9, trembled along the Hayward fault line at 8:15 p.m. No real damage was done, but there were reports of art shaking on the wall of San Fran museums and some items fell off the shelves in stores and homes. Sounds like everyone and pretty much everything are OK after the quake, which is always important, buuuut West Coast? Remember when you all made fun of us East Coasters for freaking out over our great quake this summer?
Well who's freaking out now, bitches?!
You guys! That's who. And you're supposed to be used to a quake here and there! "California earthquake" and "San Francisco earthquake" have been trending all day long on Google because you all can't seem to get enough of the little shake, rattle, and roll that happened yesterday. Let me save you some time. The only news about the quake is that there is no news. Papers are covering how many people tweeted about it -- it's come to that.
So why the big fuss over there, huh, Californians? Seems like you guys are kind of getting a little obsessed with your two itty bitty little earthy-quakeys. What's your excuse for all the Google and Twitter searches, hmmm? Checking to see if you missed the report on how the can of beans fell off the shelf at Safeway Grocery? Hmmm?
And I hate to bring this up, because this isn't about winning, but uh, our East Coast earthquake was a 5.8. It cracked the Washington Monument for crying out loud, and it really scared my mom. So ... these 3.9/4.0 ones? Small potatoes, San Franners! Small potaters. I mean, come on. If you're going to lose your crap over a tremor or two, at least make sure they're worth it.
Fine. OK OK OK. Let's make a truce. We'll allow you guys to get all excited about earthquakes if you allow us to, too. Mmk? We can all, each and every one of us, get wide-eyed with wonder when our Earth moves. Because it's really cool/scary/interesting when it does, and we should all have the right to wanna know more about what had just happened. OK? Sound good? You freak out, we'll freak out (if it ever happens again), and we'll all live happily ever after. Kthxbai.
What do you think?

"Ninny Poos"? Really? You must not be from the East Coast.
Aside from the obvious, we're waiting for the big one... I daresay, it's rare we get a quake during our mid-afternoon tanning session and soy latté break, when they normally wake us up at the crack of dawn, during an ambien-induced sleep — that's enough to shake up anyone!

I live in Northern California and when I heard about the quake in the East Coast I was scared for everyone there and was definitely NOT calling anyone a crybaby over it! So why don't you calm the hell down! We'll see how you feel when people die in Northern CA if the Big Quake hits one of these days, you evil "bitch."
what the hell, the east coast as a small ass quake, one that probably is not going to happen again for a while and people freak out. If you don't know history, you woulnd't know that San Francisco has be FLATTENED before, what a stupid ignorant post. People here actually have shit to worry about. We didn't laugh at East Coast when the hurricane didn't do much damage. Its not a competition, people die in earthquakes, and have before in earthquakes, many have, and not only that, these pre shocks are just a warning to the big one that supposed to hit, thats what people are freaking out about. We are earthquake Valley for a reason GENIUS.
