5.4 Quake hits SoCal (July 29, 2008) - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I just got home from shopping and saw the coverage of the quake on Fox News when I walked in. My first thoughts were for the people here on this forum who live or are staying there. It doesn't look like it was too bad, but this geologist is saying that it could just be a precursor of a bigger quake. We have several small quakes each year here in SC, most of them centered around Charleston, which has been hit by huge, devastating quakes in the past, so we have the potential to be hit with a "Big One". We had a 4.2 quake several years ago, that actually did some minor damage in this area, but that's the biggest we've had within my memory.
