I always thought numerous small quakes were a good thing - releasing pressure gradually and not very destructively.

They are, they slip and slide and quake a little .It sure beats the heck out of a big slammer and banger !The places that are really dangerous are the edges of the fault lines like those within the New Madrid seismic zone.The plates are pulling apart along that fault line .
The last big one in that area was in 1811 !

"Whatever the seismic history of the region may have been before the first Europeans arrived, after December 16, 1811, there could be no doubt about the area's potential to generate severe earthquakes.

On that date, shortly after 2 AM, the first tremor of the most violent series of earthquakes in the United States history struck southeast Missouri. In the small town of New Madrid, about 290 kilometers south of St. Louis, residents were aroused from their sleep by the rocking of their cabins, the cracking of timbers, the clatter of breaking dishes and tumbling furniture, the rattling of falling chimneys, and the crashing of falling trees. A terrifying roaring noise was created as the earthquake waves swept across the ground.

Large fissures suddenly opened and swallowed large quantities of river and marsh water. As the fissures closed again, great volumes of mud and sand were ejected along with the water. "

I neatly arrange things on my bedside table, he has one on his side of the bed for his accessories. That way my poly grip doesn't get mixed up with his hemorrhoid cream, which can make for an interesting evening.

It sure would make your lips kinda numb !
