Earthquakes

I think I'm immune to earthquakes. I haven't felt ANY in the Bay Area lately, even when people in my building have. I didn't feel the big east coast one or its aftershocks the other day, even though I was in Maryland at the time and it was felt from Georgia all the way to Canada. The last quake I remember feeling was in Panama, when I was on the 10th floor (or higher, I don't remember exactly which floor I was on) and there were 2 in 2 days. Panama = probably not the best place to be during a quake, since the buildings aren't necessarily seismically sound.

To be honest though, I'm also immune to tornado sirens; I once napped through a huge thunderstorm and tornado sirens blaring in the middle of Iowa in the summer. Not sure about fires or tsunamis though...
