Indeed. I'm not sure how long it's been since you left but we even had a (very moderate) earthquake here in Indiana several (~8?) years ago. It didn't really cause any damage but it's rare enough here that it was a "big deal". I want to say it was around 5 a.m. when it happened. It woke me up and I instantly knew what was going on (I've been through an earthquake before in California) but the girlfriend slept right through it. Many people had no idea it had happened until they heard about it on the news. The tornadoes, as you well know, can spring up out of nowhere.

Oh, yeah, that fault in Missouri. It's been probably twenty years since I've been back, but I remember the occasional earthquake. In fact, maybe in the 80s(?), that fault was supposed to let loose the Super Earthquake that devastates the Midwest. Of course nothing happened. And, yeah, I'll take earthquakes over tornadoes any day. Both are unpredictable, but only one stands a probable chance of destroying my wood-frame house with me in it.
