Continue your jokes, that was tiny for us and from what I understand there was like next to no damage. California is more than used to earthquakes, hell I think we get close to 400-500 a day. The state is covered in fault lines, so earthquakes really pose little threats to us, aside from San Fran and LA, and thats both due to liquifaction of the ground due to poor planing. Though our buildings are built for this crap.
Now you want to concern yourself, find the local faults in your region. NY for instance has a major fault line, however no small faults. So even a small ass 2 to 3.00 earthquake would destroy a vast majority of the city, the ocean side buildings would also go liquid, and hell keep in mind the sheer number of brick buildings that place has. BTW that fault is more than past due. Where here most of us would not even wake up for a 2 to 3 magnitude quake. So if your a betting man NY goes to an earthquake before CA does.
Then again few it seems really understand how the plates actually move, why CA is not headed west nor would it slide that direction. Unless of course you live on a damn sand covered hillside.
