Earthquakes in Illinois? Of course, they can happen most anywhere and in unlikely places too.

The saddest part of the the earthquakes in Illinois during the past few days is that some supersitious people are going to start saying we are in the "end times". That these are signs from God at that the end of the world is new". Well, HOGWASH. This is just dangerous place to live. Even Boston lies atop of a very dangerous fault which has been locked for years but which, when it snaps open, will devastate that city. Ironically that city relaxed some of its earthquakes standards on new building construction a few years ago because there had not been any earthquakes in a long time. How shortsighted can you get?
