We don't get much earthquakes in Hawaii. The last sizable one we had was
around 2001. I got on the shag rug on our bedroom spread eagle. I really
wanted to feel that earthquake. I wouldn't do that in California. The
quakes there are likely to be scary, maybe even terrifying.

Your entire island chain is volcanic. I'm surprised that you don't feel
quakes once a month. It has always taken me a few seconds, to register
what's happening, before I react.

These islands are on a big conveyor belt headed towards Japan at a
velocity of 3.5" a year. We'll never reach Japan though. My island,
Oahu, will have probably eroded away to a tiny coral atoll long before
we get halfway there. This could have a disastrous effect on real estate
prices.
This island ceased all volcanic activity a couple of million years ago.
So we don't get many earthquakes on a human notion of time. Of course,
we're on a giant conveyor belt so seismic activity is probably more
frequent, on a geologic time scale, for our state than others. The Big
Island of Hawaii is to our SE direction and has one of the most active
volcanoes on the planet. If you're looking for a rockin', hot, time, you
need to get over there pronto!
