Suffice to say I got out of there shortly after my first year’s lease was up. The thought of how devastated this region will be when that fault finally gives is absolutely horrific.
The Great Lakes region is very blessed in terms of its relatively low incidence of natural disasters.

Was it the DC earthquake from 2011? That was felt in the Detroit area and it's the only earthquake I've ever felt. When it happened I was at work in Manhattan and was texting my sister who was in Detroit. We both felt it at the same time.
