apparently earthquakes can happen anywhere...."...and earthquakes in divers places"....
we've even had them down here in the Gulf Coast...
We also have earthquake insurance on our home, the addition to the premium is not that much, the deductible is sky high but it beats having your home crumble and no insurance to rebuild..

I was sitting on one end of the couch working on my laptop and hubby was on the other end reading. I felt the shaking and thought he was shaking the couch. I turned to give him a dirty look and he was looking at me with a questionable look on his face. Then we figured it must be an earthquake. Wierd.

Said to be the most powerful earthquake to hit the Eastern US in recorded history. Look this up and read it, interesting and frightening!!!

I didn't think the East coast was prone to earthquakes, am I wrong. I thought it was over the California side that they were always on the watch out.
Take care,

East coast has had their share of earthquakes, just not felt as much or in as wide an area. Scientists say the rock base on the East Coast is denser than the West Coast so the shock waves travel farther.
There are rifts all over the US (and probably every other place on this planet) and events probably occur more frequently in some areas - Pacific Ring of Fire for example.
About the only warning one has would be the behavior of animals.......they sense the electromagnetic changes.
