Because the extreme south quake would affect the north central?

I am always thinking about this stuff, especially when I dive Cannonball here in Missouri, right on the New Madrid fault line.
Insert something witty and creative here_________________________.
I was on the log in Devil's Ear last week and it felt like the log moved. I looked at my dive buddy and we gave the hands and arms to our sides, what was that, signal.
Afterwards I wondered if it had been some kind of quake somewhere. (Not connected to this event though obviously.)
Could have been some locals entering the water, CANNON BALLING!
Sorry wrong time of year for those activities.!!!!!!

I was in Roatan in 2009 when a 7.3 quake hit 40 miles away at 2:00am. We went diving at around 10:00am and the aftershocks underwater sounded like a freight train going by your head. The resort lost a section of the coral wall at 80ft deep. An entire chunk of coral wall, about 150' wide, broke off and slid into the abyss.

In the video, the transition from dark to light is the fracture line. Being in a cave when something like that let loose, would rank really high on the scale of "things that suck."

I've felt quakes in Mexico here in Phoenix a couple of times. One was enough to make the counter at work rock around and make me feel like I was lightheaded.
Also felt one in southwest OK when I lived there. Shook the walls of our heavy log home and knocked the pictures off. That one made a sonic boom noise, too.
