    We have 3.2+ earthquakes, well, the rate I get alerts I’d estimate every other month on average. 4-5 times a year in a hundred mile radius (what I’ve got alerts set at). You are correct. Brick is used at most as a facade around here.

      We don’t even issue alerts for anything below magnitude 5. Below 4 can barely be felt, we wouldn’t even call that an earthquake here.

        I would only find out on half of them because folks on reddit, mostly new arrivals to the area, would be freaking out DID YOU FEEL THAT and those of us who grew up here would be like “what, a truck?. Then I set up the google alert and you know.

          I mistook a 4.0 for a plane flying over once. I am directly under an air road or whatever ya want to call it, ive seen everything from a B-29 to an Osprey.
