Earthquake Felt In At Least 9 States

"EAST PRAIRIE, Mo. (AP) — Only minor damage is reported after an earthquake centered in southeast Missouri shook at least nine states.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 4.0 earthquake was centered near the town of East Prairie, Mo. Geological Survey geophysicist Amy Vaughan says several people in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee reported being awakened by the quake that happened at 3:58 a.m. A few residents of North Carolina, Alabama, Indiana and Georgia also felt it."

Just a point of interest? SOMD, just like FL, could be sitting on an unknown fault just waiting to explode.

When it's in NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS it doesn't really have to apply only to SOMD.

The way the faults on the East Coast run, and the amount of seismic activity we've had, the next one we get could be a big one. I doubt many buildings in this area were built to withstand earthquakes.

The one we got last year damaged the new concrete building I work in. Nothing like realizing that the shaking is an earthquake, and you look up and realize the entire ceiling is nothing but concrete. The next time I will run out as fast as I can LOL
