I haven't felt a big quake here since the Loma Prieta one in 1989. We've had some that you feel, but they didn't do much damage. Fire season (summer) is a whole different story. I'm not worried about fires where I live, but they do affect the whole state. I'm really hoping it'll be better this year, but I doubt it. The orange skies we had last year were crazy.
Give me earthquakes and smoke over cold temps and snow any day. Lol
