Earthquake Jolts Colorado

According to USGS records there have been NO earthquakes greater than 3.5 in North Dakota, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia for 30 years.  Let's see if that trend continues.  I have my doubts.

Colorado was rattled by a 5.3-magnitude earthquake (click here) Monday night, the largest tremor to hit the state in 40 years. The quake was felt in Trinidad, a few hours south of Denver, and was preceded by at least two smaller ones. "I thought maybe a car had hit my house," a 70-year-old Trinidad resident told the Associated Press. Back in 2001, Colorado experienced a smaller series of earthquakes. Geophysicist Shengzao Chen tells the Associated Press, “The area seems to be active again.”
