A huge earthquake rocked the Midwest at the New Madrid Fault, creating devastation for many hundreds of miles around its epicenter.
At least it should have happened...... well, I don't think it ruined my reputation.....

Expert: Small Ark. earthquakes could be warning
By JON GAMBRELL – 5 days ago
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A series of small earthquakes that rattled central Arkansas in recent weeks could be a sign of something much bigger to come.
By this weekend, seismologists hope to install three measurement devices to gather data about future temblors in the area. That information could show whether the rumbles come from heat-related geological changes or from an undiscovered fault — which could mean a risk of substantial earthquakes in the future.
"The potential for generating a high-magnitude earthquake is real," said Haydar Al-Shukri, director of the Arkansas Earthquake Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Five earthquakes ranging in magnitude from 2.2 to 2.7 have hit central Arkansas this month. Quakes with a magnitude of 2.5 to 3 are typically the smallest felt by people.

In this case, use of the more technically “correct” term is actually less likely to convey the key implications to a lay audience.

Well when you have an Arkansas Earthquake Center of course you're going to have earthquakes all around it!
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used.
