Have you ever watched fresh prince of bel-air? Remember the episode where will is hiding under a desk due to an earthquake? Well that would be me. I've never, ever felt any earthquake, no matter how minor. A few months ago there was a very small one in the neighboring town (no damage, injuries etc.). Most people didn't even feel it, but the police station lit up with calls about the ground shaking as people didn't know what was going on.
There is a fault line somewhere around here, but it has very minimal activity. The vast majority of residents around here, if asked, would tell you they've never felt an earthquake however minor. Im sure a lot of residents don't even know we've had very minor earthquakes.
Though, according to some info on google, there was a large (6.2) earthquake around here in 1755.
