This is how Californians react to earthquakes.
My sister and her boyfriend just moved to CA, and apparently there was a minor tremor.
And yep, they were freaking out, and the native Californians just automatically compensated for the shaking and kept walking like they didn’t even notice it.
Everyone becomes acclimated to their local disasters, much to the worry of everyone not from the area. California is dulled to the earth splitting open and potentially toppling buildings, the Midwest doesn’t worry about the concentrated meteorological befuckeners, the south throws actual themes parties when the largest storm systems on Earth come to town, and I know I am not nearly cautious enough about fires and large wildlife
The important thing is, if you have occasion to witness one of your local disasters with a nonlocal friend, to take thier perspective and concerns seriously, as they haven’t developed the carelessness you have.
And then act like a stone cold badass in front of them because we so rarely get that opportunity. Just don’t get trampled.
