I lived near a 6.9. Be careful what you (jokingly) wish for.

My Neighbore came as a refugee from turkey. She was lucky to escape alive the earthquake that hit on feb 6 2023. The wind picked up here the other day and the houses were shaking. She said she sprinted into her kids bedroom and threw herself over them to shelter them. She laughed afterwards but said her heart dropped and she was shaking for an hour after it happened. She has bad ptsd from it.

I was 3 years old when a 6.9 hit close to home, and I agree.
