Nothing wrong, it means the Earth is still young and alive.

i didn't see ur msg here till after I posted mine so
i wonder if u did feel anything at all ? probably
a minor one. (hopefully)
 
This is the last one we had here back on Feb. 10th. 4.1 magnatude. We are on the New Madrid fault. It was centered in Caraway Arkansas, but we felt it here. It boomed and shook lamps.

Here was our worst, an 8.1 in 1811-1812.
http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis/states/missouri/1811.html

The felt areas of the three largest earthquakes were extremely large. They extended south to the gulf coast, southeast to the Atlantic coast, and northeast to Quebec, Canada. The western boundary cannot be established owing to a lack of population. However, it can be estimated that the area of intensity V or greater effects was approximately 2½ million square kilometers. This can be contrasted with the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, for which the area of intensity V or greater effects was about 150,000 square kilometers. The large difference in felt areas between the Mississippi Valley and San Francisco earthquakes, which had approximately the same magnitude and focal depth, can be explained by differences in attenuation of earthquake waves traveling through the Earth's outer crust. The crust in the Western United States tends to ``soak up'' earthquake energy, whereas in the central and eastern regions of the country the seismic energy experiences a much lower rate of absorption. Quantitative studies of recent earthquakes confirm this explanation.
 
Most of the time, earthquake is quite harmless... let's try and picture this: Earthquake is a heart that beating in Earth's 'body'. Our heart is beating in our chest 24/7...
 
Even it occurred in Presque Isle, Maine !! Sigh....

Nothing this time.

In the past I have felt and heard them. We have a few foundation cracks from past ones.

Our last really big earthquake was 1886. Pictures at

Soooo... don't worry til it knocks the pencils out of your pocket? Hahahaha! As a matter of fact, the surface of the earth is made up of floating plates. They move. They are dynamic. If they had enough lube between them, you wouldn't feel earthquakes at all. But they slip over and under each other and that causes the quake when the built up energy is released.

It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage.

Each year the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. Most of them are so small that they are not felt. Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15-20 are greater than magnitude 4.0. If there is a large earthquake, however, the aftershock sequence will produce many more earthquakes of all magnitudes for many months.

From 1975-1995 there were only four states that did not have any earthquakes. They were: Florida, Iowa, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Earthquakes occur in the central portion of the United States too! Some very powerful earthquakes occurred along the New Madrid fault in the Mississippi Valley in 1811-1812. The effects of shaking from these magnitude 8+ earthquakes caused church bells to ring in Boston, Massachusetts, nearly 1600 km (1000 miles) away.

What about these years 1995-to-2005 ? Were there
any states that did not have any earthquakes during
these years 1995-2005 ?
 
As a californian, I never understand why people are scared of earthquakes but I am no better either... I am afraid of hurricanes in Florida.
