Here in Tennesee, we rarely get earthquakes; mainly tornadoes to keep us on our toes.
Earthquake question: Will a big quake usually be the FIRST to hit, and then smaller aftershocks, or can you get little ones leading up to a big one too?
Thanks!

Others here are much more knowledgeable than I when it comes to seismic events....Maybe someone else can answer that better....
