Things don't REALLY start to rock 'n roll until the Richter scale hits a 5.0. THEN, it's time to ROCK 'N ROLL!!
True, but this was Florida, so their earthquake had naked meth freaks running around trying to eat peoples' faces.
And of course, there were the alligators...
Depends on what part of the country you're in. California? Sure. East coast or Midwest near Missouri? Waay different tectonics. Still, a 3.7 in Florida is not so bad, especially if it was 100 miles off Daytona beach.
The 2011 central Virginia quake that did all that damage in DC was an intraplate earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8. I live in Alexandria, VA. Whoa, nellie! All the pots & pans in my kitchen fell to the floor.
Unlike quakes on the west coast, quakes striking the east is more like hitting a bell with a hammer; it travels quite far. That "little" 5.8 quake was felt across more than a dozen U.S. states and in several Canadian provinces, and was felt by more people than any other quake in U.S. history.
