7.9 in 1857 Ft. Tejon
7.8 in 1872 Owens Valley
7.8 in 1892 Imperial Valley
7.7 in 1906 San Francisco - 102 years ago today
7.6 in 1992 Landers
7.3 in 1927 Lompoc

Richard is right - call us when they get over "6" - but if you have never
experienced any earthquake - and then one happens like today - they still scare the socks off of you.

My most recent favorite was the 1994 6.7 and my four poster bed bucked like a bronco and I was in it.
