How often do you think about earthquakes?
I think about them every night...

After getting thrown out of bed in a mild quake about 5 years ago, I can't stop thinking about another, bigger one.

Every night as well, usually lying in bed, wondering if the speaker is going to fall on my head...

I was in the Tehachapi earthquake in 1952. It was a 7.2 or 7.6, or around there somewhere - quite an experience. I've felt numberous quakes over the years since. But I can't say I think about it more than a couple of times a year. But when they happen, it makes you feel pretty powerless.

Every time I go into a big building, like a music hall or a big restaurant, I plan out my course of action in case the big one hits. I consider the age of the buidling and the distance to the exit and if I should risk a dash for it, and where to take cover if the exit is too far away. Being a San Francisco native will do this to you.

I can honestly say that earthquakes have never crossed my mind.

I used to think about them all of the time when I lived in Japan. Now that I live in TX, not so much, but still occasionally.

Occasionally. I consider myself pretty well prepared and if I'm not killed in the initial quake, I think my chances of surviving the ensuing war zone are pretty good. This is not by accident - it's by careful preparation and choices made.

Honestly the only times I do are when I'm going into a parking garage that's 2-3 levels under a big building.
