East Coast Earthquakes

Is it me, or are there more “reportable” earthquakes occuring on the East Coast of the United States? I’ve known for years that we have, on average, 150 minor tremors a year here, most of which no one even notices.

For instance, there have been small earthquakes in Tennessee both yesterday and the day before, and also once last week. Late last night, there was a magnitude 3.8 quake 2 miles from Hot Springs, North Carolina.

So, what happens when the East Coast is hit with “the big one?” Scientists have long warned that when we do get a serious earthquake here, it’s gonna be a doozy. What’s being done to prepare?

Nothing. The East Coast will be decimated. Cities will fall. Fire and brimstone, and all that rot. All kidding aside, we hear of the devastation in serious earthquakes in areas that are “prepared.” Just imagine what will happen in an area that’s not.
