And there was a 4.6 in eastern Arizona, as well.
Draw a line across a globe from the big one near Indonesia to Arizona and continue on.
Chicago is DOOOOOOMED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, I'm concerned about the New Madrid fault, which is relatively near here in Memphis. And the folks here don't have the slightest clue about earthquake building codes or preperations.

even looking at the map it's hard to know where it is...Click on the globe and then click to slid south on the map. Looks pretty much due north of Darwin, Australia.
