Standing on Shaky Ground


Not too many people know it, but there are thousands of earthquakes everyday. Just today California experienced a 5.4 quake (The largest recorded by humans was a 9.3). New York has many small earthquakes each year, they are just too small for us to pay any attention. Our city actually stands on an ancient (very ancient) fault zone, so lets hope it doesn't become active again, or we could have some serious problems...
