I will say that in my 35 years in the Chicago area, there was only one tiny notable quake. And there was always plenty of increasingly expensive water.
We lived in One of the FINEST neighborhoods of Chicago between Lake Michigan and Michigan Ave. In Streeterville wher Oprah lived a block away....you couldn’t PAY me to move back now and we had a FABULOUS LIFESTYLE there.
