    Glad to hear everyone is O.K. They said on the news tonight that it's been 40 years since the last one in that part of the country.

    With your Major Matt Mason stuff? :D

    I read in an article that the type of soil and ground structure throughout the Midwest is more conducive for the vibrations traveling farther distances than the geological structure in CA. The force of a quake seems to be more concentrated in CA and more spreadout in the Midwest.

    Yes, I read that also Terry,, the soil and bedrock play crucial parts.

    Here's some facts for the earthquake.

    This email was forwarded to me this morning morning from my brother who works for the State Geological Survey (or something like that). The pics were in PDF format so i had to change them to JPG and I couldn't get the second one to come out in color so i had to add some text to them ;)
