Maybe the San Andreas fault has moved.

I lived in CA for 25 years and felt a few earthquakes in that time, but my first experiences with earthquakes was one in Burlington, IA at less than two years of age, and another about 1968 or 69 at age 27 or 28 in IL. It was centered in or near Effingham, IL. It was on a Saturday morning and the local radio station host went berserk for almost 3 hours; he was yelling about explosions and the Russians attacking. I remembered my first one in IA as a baby and tried to calm people down because that's what my grandma did in IA. I was immediately scared like a baby would be, but grandma never missed a stitch in her knitting, saying "It's all right Charlie, it's just an earthquake and won't hurt you." I was playing on the floor with blocks went it happened and it stopped just as Grandma soothed me, I went back to playing with my blocks. But it sure burned a hole in my young memory. It must have been the big one, WWii, that traumatized my infant psyche. I have three other memories from age 1-1/2 to 2. All four have been verified as real happenings by my Mom and others. I wish that first hint of photographic memory had been permanent. :) Chas
