8. They do get annoying after a bit

Roughly 6 months after Loma Prieta in 1989 (and on the anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake) we had a 4ish quake at 6:30 AM. Now I don't get out of bed for anything less than a 5, and it wasn't time to get up yet, so I just went back to sleep. 15 minutes later, there was another one about the same size. I was still not ready to get up. Then 15 minutes later there was yet another one - this time I got the message.

Expect to be jumpy for a few weeks, if not longer.
