Reply to comment by Mississimia in ‘My whole bed shook’: south Wales hit by 3.7 magnitude earthquake | Wales by vanquisher1985

I live in MD and when you live in an area not known for tremors they will really freak you out. In California a small shake is nothing but tomorrow's hottest new dance routine, in MD it might as well be the sky falling.

I've known a bunch of people from the PNW and California who move to the southeast and freak out at thunderstorms. Like, there's not even a tornado watch. This is just spicy sky.

Just depends on what you're used to.

West coast people freak out over a severe thunderstorm.

Midwesterners and Southerners go outside when the tornado siren goes off to try and see it.

It's fine. We're currently experiencing a blizzard and I'd imagine people in MD could handle that much better than us.
