Well, being on the east coast, I wouldn't know that. I've never felt an earthquake.

I did. There was one in upstate New York a few years back.


I slept through it.

Heh, we've had a couple of 3.5ish quakes in the UK over the last few years, apparently we get them a lot, like Tornados (we have the highest density of Tornados in the world).

We had a mild quake year or two back in Finland... I barely noticed it. I hear there is more rumbling at our eastern border. But thats coming from the Urals. Apparently the Russians use a fair amount of explosives in their mining activities and it can sometinmes be felt on our soil...
