Many major cities are threatened by earthquakes.

San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other parts of Calif. are vulnerable to big quakes. San Diego has some smaller fault lines.

Salt Lake City is on an earthquake fault.

As mentioned, Seattle and Portland are vulnerable in the Pacific Northwest.

The New Madrid Fault in southeastern Missouri can produce large quakes. A major quake there would cause some major damage as far away as St. Louis or Memphis.

Charleston, South Carolina sits on a fault line.

New York and Boston sit on fault lines too, but experts think quakes there would be milder than quakes elsewhere.

Those rocks just sitting there ready to roll down the hills DON'T!

The periodicity of this shaking between Stumptown and Vancouver is about 300 years. The last hit was in 1700. It's now 2009 ~ time to MOVE!
