Still trying to get a reaction from my kinfolks in Milton, just a few miles away from you. Never remembered having one there when I was growing up there during the depression and WW2..we sure didn't need any more misery then.

Friends who lived in Missouri tell of their historic one in the 1800s, the New Madrid one, which, on reading about it on the Internet, makes my blood chill!

Just be careful, and do as Flylady suggests, have emergency stuff ready to grab as you rush out the door!!! There are usually some aftershocks to earthquakes.
