I like it here in the midwest - just tornadoes and ice storms to worry about.

Biggest quake in the USA was in the MidWest.
Info Snippet.:
"The New Madrid fault, which cuts through five states along the Mississippi River, ruptured with three of the most monstrous earthquakes ever during the winter of 1811-12. Legend has it the ground shook so violently that the Mississippi ran backward and folks as far off as Canada trembled.
So Midwesterners have to wonder: Will it ever happen again?
Seismologists long have warned that the New Madrid fault seems prone to tremendous tremors once every 500 years or so. The Midwest, in fact, is at bigger risk of a supersized quake than Los Angeles or San Francisco, according to the U.S. Geological Survey"
