Here in west TN we're at the edge of the New Madrid Fault. Lots of mini quakes. Sleep through them too. We're on top of a huge aquifer, ever seen the ground wobble like Jello? It does here sometimes...
Yep, seen the Jello thing, but for a different reason: spring holes out in Dad's meadows. Driving across one with a tractor is like driving across a waterbed. Just sod growing on top of mud soup basically.
And if you fall through, it can be a job to get pulled out of.
Fun to walk around on though; you can jump up and down and see the ground rippling around you!
