Glad I live here - no hurricanes, not too many tornado's and no earthquakes, we are pretty safe here (I think)

[LSixer]

and no earthquakes

Dont you remember that one we had here several years ago (about three years ago I think)??

Hell it woke me and my wife up. It was the New Mardrid fault acting up. And another is WAAAAAY over due.

Google on New Madrid quakes recent ones. You'll find it.

[Polish Guy]

oh no, not another hurricane!

[UneekTT]

I remember that - but nothing like the west coast, lucky for us!

The last time the new Madrid fault did a major slip it re-routed the Mississippi River.

If a big one hit (and like L6 Adam said its waaaay over due) most of St. Louis would be destroyed or flooded and a lot of buildings in Chicago would suffer major damage. Maybe I watch too much Discovery channel.

No not too much. Just enough brother.

I have been in Peru several times visiting the wifes relatives, and I suppose they are mine as well.

EACH time we were there, there was a quake. Like some kind of bad karma. Recently, the quake in Peru, the one in the news knocked a church down. The irony is that the last visit there for me, we were in a 400+ year old cathederal and a quake struck. EVERYONE bolted for doors, windows whatever, man that was a trip. They are like nothing I have ever experienced ... truly the work of God at hand.
