OTOH, I've heard that a major quake from the New Madrid fault will top anything that happens on the west coast. Now THAT is one that I'd be interested in.

There was a New Madrid earthquake a few years ago, which I felt here in Detroit.

I suppose you have the documents to prove it straight from Dan Rather too. LOL.

We had one, around a 3.0, some years ago in West MI. I remember that some sidewalks buckled. Since there are so many holes in our roads anyway, no one noticed any damage to the highways.
