Oh, who am I kidding?
In all seriousness, the North American urban areas classed as "overdue" for fairly large earthquakes include: Saint Louis New York Boston Charleston Denver Vancouver Los Angeles Portland and, although perhaps not overdue anymore, Seattle.

I live in the same general area you and LOA do, Sol; Vancouver. It was a roller and it was actually quite fun. One moment I was in class have a great ol' time (if thats even possible), and the next I'm standing up swaying. People started asking me what the hell I was doing. I guess living in southern california gives one a seismic sense, you know, like Spiderman's spidey-sense! Except without the neat swirly animated tentacles coming from your head.
Anyhow, I was hoping for a few minor aftershocks. I thought it was fun.

*imagines future archaeologists making a plaster cast of the hole in the ash left by Simon's body, like in Pompeii* Get another vat! Seems to be a problem filling above the waist, something large and protruding is using everything we pour in!

Hey, at least the earthquake in Seattle was over 30 miles below the surface, unlike 8-12 miles below like the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles.

Well, we maritimer's never feel earthquakes, cause, well, there's no fault lines here... Wait, actually, I think I heard once that there's one running along the Saint John River... Dunno how accurate that is, though.

I'm in the most earthquake-free zone in the world. There was a small one at the end of the 19th century that damaged a church and 200 "dwellings" (shit-holes would be a more accurate description) slightly.
Wait - that does't explain why I'm rocking back and forth *smells breath*

Actually, 90% of tremors are caused by an attractive lady walking past Simon's house.

Emeraldcity reported in again today at Slipstrem. She said all was well with her, and that she worked two blocks from the Starbucks building. I didn't see it on the news, but I assume it collasped, or partly collasped.
