Nevada is third in earthquakes...

after California and Alaska.

I did not know that. Hmm.

Interesting factoid: Portland, Oregon, is the only U.S. city with a volcano inside the city limits (happily, it's dormant).

And the closest I've ever lived to the epicenter of a quake was when I lived in Laurelhurst on Portland's east side. The quake--which I didn't feel, though some did--was centered only a couple of blocks from my house.
