Mom checks the earthquake map three times a day and was surprised to see one in Florida. Historically, Florida gets fewer earthquakes than any other place in North America. Nevertheless, today we go one.

Actually, I believe that Wisconsin and Iowa(?) have no recorded earthquakes. And a 2.6 barely qualifies. you can easily sleep through one unless you are right at the epicenter.

If you really want to be shaken, and not stirred, come out here to the west coast.....
