>Nebraska had some of the best storms...
Which reminds me of something I mentioned to a friend here recently. I have noticed that some people from the Atlantic seaboard of the US feel that they must assert their eligibiilty for earthquakes On another board somewhere else, a person from a part of the States not known for seismic activity was quick to point out all the faultlines in the eastern part of the US, saying more or less, "hey, we can have quakes too". This is an interesting phenomenon that I have now seen in at least two different web boards. In one instance, an Easterner jumped into a discussion about quakes that I was having with a Californian. This desire to insist that the East Coast is not excluded from the "earthquake club" makes me smile, because the eagerness thus displayed to claim seismic activity indicates very strongly that the claimant has never experienced a real quake. If they had, they would not feel that it was something to brag about.
