Because many of us live in the area and therefore are deeply impacted by things like this.


Deeply impacted is an overstatement. Not a lot happened really, but maybe most people here are not used to earthquakes.


The key part of my comment was "things like this". While this earthquake wasn't anything to write home about, a think like this, an earthquake, could easily be much worse, and therefore deeply impact folks that live here. It hasn't been that long since Loma, and that could be said to have deeply impacted those that lived there then, and still impacts us that do today, no?
