   I'm wondering when Mount Ranier will erupt and take out   
   Microsoft :-D   
      
   Remember Mt. St. Helens?   
      
   Heck, even South Carolina got hit with disaster:   
      
       At 7.3 magnitude, the Charleston earthquake of 1886 was the largest quake   
       to ever hit the Eastern United States. This earthquake killed at least 60   
       people and destroyed much of the city. Aftershocks, some of them large   
       enough to be damaging by themselves, continued for years.
