[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 455359, member: 84"] The waves of the earthquake travel much better and uninterrupted in the East as opposed to the west, and it also makes for more shaking ect for a smaller earthquake. Less quake= more effect. And no, older buildings in other areas of the country are not built for quakes of any sort. It's just not expected. But I believe now they do it for everywhere. When I was a kid we had one along the fault (small fault I believe) in central Illinois. It wasn't really a large one in any sense. That it came right after a major explosion in the city.....was weird. But it still shook us up pretty bad and I recall my aunts dishes tumbling out of her cabinets and breaking. Having this happen after that explosion that took out a large chunk of the east side of town and damaged many other hundreds of houses.......really had people jittery. At first they thought it was another explosion. That was when I learned (I was about 9-10 yrs old) that earthquakes can happen east of the Mississippi too. This one I felt nothing. Animals didn't act odd either, which they usually will when something like this happens. [/QUOTE]
