After I sent a reply a minute ago, I happen to think of those people in
Turkey who experienced a devastating earthquake this week. It reminds me
of the 8.0+ earthquake in Alaska in the 1960s.....I did not live there then, 
but I did live in Seattle and we felt the earth move even that far south....I
was just a kid then, but it was still scary. Fortunately for Alaska, the popula-
tion was sparse so the loss of life was not severe like in Turkey.

So far,  at least, the Midwest has not experienced what San Francisco, LA,
etc. have experienced periodically throughout their history.

In Michigan, where I live, I have never experienced even the mild quake
that happened yesterday.
