A recent study has included that at least 42 US states are at risk for significant earthquakes:

July 18, 2014

A new study by the U.S. geological society suggests 42 states have a reasonable chance of experiencing damaging ground shaking from an earthquake in the next 50 years.

The 8 states that did not have significant hazard levels are Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. The 16 states at highest risk are Alaska, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/07/18/new-study-suggests-42-states-at-risk-for-earthquakes/

There have always been serious known areas of risk like the San Andreas fault in California, the New Madrid fault in the Midwest and South, as well as the Yellowstone area.

But, while any of those areas has devastating potential (and with Yellowstone that is not limited to earthquakes), the reality is that nearly all USA states are at known risk, and the 8 that are not considered to be a risk may very well be as well.

Jesus warned about a time earthquakes and troubles:

8 … And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be…troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

Having a significant risk in 42 USA states certainly is consistent with the warning from Jesus that there will be earthquakes in diverse places.

The USA and many other parts of the world are at greater risk for earthquakes than most imagine.
