I plan on keeping this house for a while but I do want to move to Nor Cal rather soon. I can't turn down renting this place out when I do move though, the prices people pay for rent here is insane!!

i still think something big is not too far away. too many recent earthquakes as of lately.
Didn't bother me as well. I was sitting down with some family and we started looking at each other and started counting how long this stupid quake was gonna last, we got to 45 seconds before we started getting bored. It takes a big earthquake to scare me nowadays, like lisa I went through the Northridge quake and I actually LIVED in Northridge!!
I was 10 and THAT was scary, since then I just don't care, if a roof falls on my head it falls on my head. I remember during one of the after shocks of the Northridge quake my mom rushed us all outside fearing the roof was gonna fall, so we got onto the front lawn and then the parked cars started jumping the curbs right onto our lawn, and my mom was like...on second thought, everybody back in the house. Walking through a doorway that acts like a fun house mirror is a memory that won't ever fade...creepy.

Moving to NorCal? Try Tehachapi. Dad lived there for a little, and I thought it was pretty, but there's nothing around you. Closest big city was Bakersfield, I think.

One big difference about AK is that there aren't alot of tall buildings to topple over.
I never knew that, seems to kinda stay in CA. We've had teenie, tiny here quake here. I'm not sure if it was here, or in OH, but it was a while ago & nothin to worry. High winds here & there, & a random tornadoe. Snow, snow/ice mix blows.

SO that makes u insane if u pay high rent , doesn't it now?

I'm sure a roof on your head won't do much damage.
I've never read anything like that, parked cars jumping curbs. I can't imagine my friend.

If u like the bay area, SF might be for you. Plus, you're a Semen, so you'll fit in.
