Hi Canie,

Thanks again for posting the map. I see the Solomons got hit by a 5.9. While I think it falls within the FFA zone, they have those types of earthquakes frequently anyway, so its hard to tell.

However, Georgia does not. So I think it deserves some FFA recognition.

Now if I can get Don from Hollister out of that all too comfortable feeling and have him do some serious research, maybe he can hop over here and explain the FFA theory and "name those places" which should or should not be affected.

If left up to me, I think Lowell might give me an "F" on this one.
