Subject: RE: BS: California Earthquake
We can see how someone could have died of a heart attack during an earthquake. We were terrified and still feel very nervous and uptight. We've had 19 aftershocks that were magnitude 4.0 or greater and each one shakes the house enough to raise our blood pressure considerably.
The United States Geological Survey quotes the odds at at least two in three that we'll have an aftershock of magnitude 5.0 or greater within a week of the initial quake which was three days ago.
We had a magnitude 3.5 aftershock just 10 minutes ago. If you really want to see what we're going through, click here.
