Shaking

I lived in California for a couple of years and my interest in earthquakes was piqued by the experience. I was checking out the USGS earthquake maps and noticed that we had a couple of small treblers down near Asheville this week! The New Madrid fault line is as likely to go as the San Andreas. I notice that Memphis has some earthquake resistant buildings listed as well. I hope they both hold tight for a while yet to come, but the research and internet access to real time data is fascinating.
