3. Quakes happen pretty much anywhere...

they're just more rare in some places than others.

Are they fracking in Ohio near Cinci?

5. I think they were fracking in Northern Ohio.

Never heard anything about Cinn.

6. My bad...

I meant Cleveland.

But Cleveland would be "Northern Ohio" no?

4. The last one I remember was probably

30 yars ago. Sitting on my second floor sun porch I felt the earth shake. Family in the house did not feel it.

But the 15 tornados Memorial Day played havoc in this area. Parts were wiped out.

7. There was a 1986 5.0 quake Lake County

I remember it because I was at my kid's school helping make pizza for a party lunch. It was a fairly long noisy one, and a lot of the moms thought the boiler was going to blow. It was quickly identified as an earthquake. When I got home, the cookbooks on the shelf above the sink were in it; other items had also fallen off the shelves. Lucky I was with a group because it would have really freaked me out at home alone. DH was in a basement office in downtown Cleveland and also felt a good shake.
