Take that California!
Apparently the area I live in has had 5 earthquakes this year. I haven't felt one.

Quote:
LAKE COUNTY -- Hundreds of people felt the earth move last Saturday morning after an earthquake hit about three miles out in the lake off shore from Mentor.

What's causing the recent string of mild earthquakes and do they mean a bigger quake is coming?

"My bed shook very violently and it scarred me pretty bad," said 13-year-old Jonathan McLean.

There have been 10 earthquakes in barely a year from Mentor to Ashtabula, with seven in the past nine months and five already this year.

Early Saturday morning, the seismograph at Lakeland Community College shows everything was normal.

"Then at 7:27 and 30 seconds or so we had a snap in the earth's crust," explained Dr. David Pierce.

Saturday's quake measured 3.0 - moderate - slightly stronger than most of the recent string of tremors.

But Lake County does have the potential for a quake of "6"intensity, which is strong enough to move buildings off their foundations and cause significant property damage.

Do the recent quakes mean more and bigger is coming?

"We don't know," Pierce says. "We do know its normal. There is a lot of geological activity. Things are always changing and shifting."

But it may not all be a natural occurrence. The lakeshore in Lake and Ashtabula County has a long industrial history. There are salt mines beneath the lake. And chemical plants here were allowed to dispose of waste in deep well injections three miles into the lake floor's rock strata.

"Does that play a part in the recent tremors?" we asked. "My hunch is it probably does," Pierce replied.

But, Dr. Pierce says we needn't worry here about a California type "big one."

California's where the earth's pacific plate and North American plate meet and shift with potential for much larger earthquakes than Ohio located in the center of the North American plate.

If you'd like to know more about where earthquakes happen in Ohio and where the most destructive quakes have been, click on the related link.

I have some family that lives in Mentor, Ohio.
Hypocrisy at it's worst!

I don't think Connecticut has ever even had an earthquake (I'm probably wrong)
