People of America, let me assure you that the people of Los Angeles are safe. In our neck of the woods we do not even consider a 5.4 magnitude an earthquake. We consider a 5.4 as just a tractor trailer passing to close to our houses. The media as with everything is blowing the situation out of proportion. I did not even get under my desk at work because the earth was not shaking enough for me.

It was funny however to see people at work that are from other parts of the country get scared as the earth starting shaking. One women started hyperventilating, as another was incapacitated from fright. But in the end both were excited that they were in an earthquake, especially in Los Angeles. The woman that was hyperventilating once she calmed down called her family in Virginia and expressed her feelings of excitement as the earth beneath her grumbled.

However, we Angelinos know an earthquake of any magnitude is no laughing matter and we veterans of earthquakes should always be prepared. I myself have enough bottled water, canned food, and medical supplies to last me five days. I also have cash on hand in dominations of ones and fives ($75 worth). Plus of course I take advantage to my right to bare arms. Yes, I am locked and loaded just in case riots brake out after an earthquake. I am prepared if I am near or away from my home and for those who aren’t, that’s your problem.
