In the rural mountainous south, there are a number of log home buildings and builders. After the recent quake, I'm wondering if log structures might have an advantage when the ground shakes?

I don’t think that they held up very well in the New Madrid quake of 1811.

That was supposed to be on the MLK statue thread. Sorry :)

but to answer the question, the statue should do well in an earthquake. ;-)
