Ok for anyone that knows me, they would probably know that the weather and most things related brings great interest to me. I recently started looking into earthquakes. I became rather shocked to find out that our precious east coast is not immune to earthquakes. Obviously I don't believe that any place in this world is immune to anything; I'm not that naive, but it's just not really heard of on the east coast. So my recent discoveries are:
December 18, 2008
North Carolina had an earthquake of a 1.7 magnitude on the other side of Asheville.

Although I understand that these quakes aren't nearly as devastating as they are on our west coast, or even other places in the world. I just like to feel that we have certain worldly issues to not stress about.
This is really cool! I think it's so awesome that you have such an interest in all things weather related! I really love watching about stuff like this on the discovery channel, but I normally don't take the time to actually do research like you have. You're such a smarty pants! I love it!
