Hey, I grew up in the Wheat Fields,...this stuff bothers me!
I worked for a Quaker ...he had a couple of thousand acres and his own grain elevator....small one.
But he could make the ground shake when he got MAD!
Of course, I live in the shadow of the Seven Oaks Dam which sits right on the San Andreas Fault.

Magnitude 8 and Greater Earthquakes Since 1900
With a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.5 inches)[4] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.[5]
