[quote:just waiting:MV84NTMxNTdfMTMyMzc3NDVfODgwQkZFOUY=] This could be the begining! [color=red]The zone had four of the largest North American earthquakes in recorded history[/color], with moment magnitudes estimated to be greater than 7.0, all occurring within a 3 month period between December of 1811 and February of 1812. Many of the published accounts describe the cumulative effects of all the earthquakes (known as the New Madrid Sequence); thus finding the individual effects of each quake can be difficult. Magnitude estimates and epicenters are based on interpretations of historical accounts and may vary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_Zone [/quote]

A small earthquake shook parts of North Carolina and two other states Saturday morning, an unusual occurrence in that part of the country.
The quake had a magnitude of 3.2 and was felt in mountainous areas of Tennessee and Georgia as well as North Carolina, the site of its epicenter, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on its Web site.
The epicenter was located about 55 miles east of Chattanooga, near the town of Ducktown.
No damage or injuries were immediately reported, but the agency received reports of light shaking as far away as Gainesville, Ga., about 60 miles to the south.
