You couldn’t turn on the TV, load up Twitter, or run onto the sidewalk to weep in terror without someone cheerfully telling you they were from California, and, yes, that was definitely a Real Earthquake. As if all Californians have been tasked by the U.S. Geological Survey to go out and certify earthquakes throughout the land.
Classic. Missing all this in London but can totally imagine Californians droning on about the East Coast quake.
