My brother was sleeping in a hotel near McGee-Tyson Airport, and he said he didn't feel anything. He didn't even know there was an earthquake there until I told him about it the next day.

This is an interesting website that I look at every so often. It shows that earthquakes occur almost constantly. What generally happens is that we have one or two very big events like an earthquake or two and a volcano eruption and then the press starts reporting on them a lot more because there is a public interest.

This planet is constantly moving and has been from the time it was formed.

Wow! I never knew that. I guess there's faults all over the place!
