One Of America's Safest Places?

Hi All,

We often talk about where the worst places to live are in relationship to earthquakes, but where is the safest place without them? Well, its quite small, but it does cotton to some fame. Its the population center of the USA and has a population of about 200 people.

It has had only one quake which is:
PDE 1991 07 02 034901.70 37.49 -91.71 5 3.30 MDSLM .... ....... 14

Its about 120 miles NW of New Madrid, MO and is called Edgar Springs, Missouri.

Jumpin Joehosephat! I wonder if we should all move there and wait for the big one from New Madrid? Nah, it might not happen for another whole lifetime. I forgot to check the weather history, so for all we know, maybe that's why they have so many glass shops in the area, because of hail storms. Ooooooo. I wonder what the information operator thought when I called at this hour of the night. Who could need information now?

Maybe this is an area Don and I should keep an eye out for, if we can hone into this locales next earthquake, the odds would be fantastic.

Ah well, slow night guys, but no worry, I've had ear tones a plenty for my own neighborhood, so the maps will be lighting up shortly. If any of you remember Dyan, she always said I got euphoric before earthquakes.
