California Dreaming (or Shuddering)?
So, let's talk about the big C-word. No, not that C-word. We're talking about California, and its not-so-friendly habit of shaking things up. Yep, another earthquake has decided to pay the Golden State a visit. Honestly, California, you're starting to get a reputation. It's like you're trying to audition for a remake of "The Core", but without the Bruce Willis charm.
Did the Earth Just Hit the Snooze Button?
This latest tremor has got everyone asking, "Did the Earth just hit the snooze button?" or "Is this a subtle hint from Mother Nature to move to Nebraska?" Look, we get it, California is beautiful, but maybe it's time for a little less shake, rattle, and roll. We're starting to think the state motto should be "California: Where the Sun Shines and the Ground Jumps."
Earthquake Etiquette 101
Now, we're not seismologists or professional earthquake-dodgers, but we do have some unsolicited advice:
- Stay calm: Easier said than done, we know. But panicking is like trying to solve a Rubik's cube while riding a unicycle. It's not going to end well.
- Find cover: If you can, get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, try human Tetris and fit yourself into a doorway.
- Hold on: Literally. Grab onto something solid. And while you're at it, hold onto your sanity.
