Where I live earthquakes are common, there's lots of fault lines and gemothermal activity but in the Appalachian mountains ? Makes you wonder.
On the other hand, there is so much weird weather going on~ everywhere it seems.

We had an earthquake in my area a few years ago. I was amazed to learn about the midwest fault lines as no one ever talks about them. But we have them too and earthquakes can happen. You do wonder though if we do anything to help these quakes along OH!
I wonder if they're fracking in that area.
