I moved from quake country and now live on the East coast of Florida. We often buy book cases and other furnishings and they automatically come with pre-packaged quake anchors. Everybody laughs about it, but I know that 120 years ago we had a quake so strong here that the all-masonry St. Augustine lighthouse rocked and almost toppled.
