That area from SW Mexico to Nicaragua has been a shakin’ most recently. I’ve got my eye on north central okie as I’m concerned about the warning issued the other day for a 5+ mag quake. So many memories tied to that state and lots of good conservatives and freepers thereabouts.

The quakes are all small and shallow, and there aren’t any known faults in the area. So I wouldn’t be too worried.

But then — it’s often the fault lines we don’t know about that cause the damaging quakers.
