I think Saint Andrew is in cahoots with Saint Francisco who may be gay. And all of those cute little Angeles in southern California I think are actually a bunch of little demons really.

Uh, Dave, YOU guys have Earthquakes too in Pennsylvania. And because you have so few fault lines your quakes travel further. And because your brick buildings and other structures are not Earthquake proof, ooops.

I think there was a quake recently in Ohio felt as far away as Georgia.

And don't forget the old Miss Issip changing directions for a few days about 200 years ago down Miz-oura way. Just the middle of a great river changing direction. Hhhmm

Add to that no hurricanes or tornadoes in Califo-nia.

Please stay in the Keystone State.

I didn't feel it at all, but California has had tornados on rare occasions. Still the greatest earthquake in recorded history was the New Madrid quake.

Hot Springs only happen in active volcanic regions prone to earthquakes. And I do enjoy hot springs. And so here I am once again about to be sitting in an active volcanic region enjoying the nice warm bath. Ahhh..... But then again the other theory about hot springs is that the waters are really heated by the fires of eternal hell with all of its past miscreant sinners of earth being made to shovel in the coal into the fires of hell and that the hot springs are Satan's outreach program to that place. Ahhh.... I guess I'll have to believe in earthquakes and hope that a volcano doesn't happen to erupt while I'm relaxing in the pool.

:D

That's not always so. We have hot springs here in the UK - eg Bath (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Baths_(Bath)) - yet the nearest active volcanoes are in Iceland on the mid-Atlantic ridge.

PS, we only had one hurricane ever reach this far north and I Was well out of the flood zones. I live 1100 feet above sea level on the top of a hill, far from hills and flood plains and rivers that flood. BTW - Pittsburgh is 750 feet above sea level.

Dave,

A big difference between west and east coast is we are built to try and handle a big quake the east coast is not. If a quake hits the East coast there will be mega amounts of damage

Dave,

I live in the Detroit area and we have had our earthquakes here too. Being a native Detroiter, we have had several here in my 53 years. I only FELT one back in 1986.

The earthquakes won't do us in here but poor management in the auto industry and predatory capitalist vermin on Wall Sreet have done what a earthquake couldn't do to us.
