"Every day is earthquake season in California"

That's CEA's, California Earthquake Authority, tag line. Hm. Might be true. Well, since they offer earthquake insurance coverage, I guess that is a correct tag line. But still...

There is a code that requires all insures to offer earthquake coverage with the residential property policy. This is one of the one billion papers you handle when you buy a house here. We got a letter from them in the mail today. Almost a bit "exotic" to a Swede, from a country without any kind of unstable ground, no hurricane seasons and a total lack of tornadoes.

CEA has link to the US Geological Survey. This is one website you don't want to visit of you're a resident of California...

I guess the CEA's tagline is correct. The last week there were 258 earthquakes in California.

That would scare the living day lights out of me...
How about you? Getting used to the "quakes" and the warnings?

I live in an area far from the squares, and live in denial... and only get reminded when the California Earthquake Authority sends letters... ;-)
