> I live on the New Madrid faultline, which runs through Arkansas, Southeast Missouri, etc and is usually not overly active. Today we've had 4 minor quakes. For someone from California, such as my wife, it's not all that interesting. But for me, it was pretty wild. The first woke me about 7:35, and lasted about 2 minutes. Only a 4.1, but the duration kept the bed moving enough to jar me awake. The other 3 have all been in the 2.1 - 2.7 range. Like I said, not overly exciting to most, but interesting for us. :)

I've lived in Southern California for about 5 years and I haven't experienced that many earthquakes. There was only one that I really felt strongly. It's such a wierd thing though when you haven't ever experienced it before. When the bigger one hit (I don't recall the number but the epicenter wasa good hundred miles away) I was in a tall building in the the San Fernando Valley. They had experienced a really bad earthquake a few years ago that did a lot of damage so many people there were very scared. Not having had that horrible experience, I wasn't really alarmed. Still, a very strange experience.
