"The Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone is considered one of the most active earthquake areas in the Southeast, meaning quakes can occur at anytime in the region. More than a dozen small quakes have been measured across East Tennessee over the last eight months."

Charming...and we have nukes.

Here's the whole article about 4 quakes in three days:

I don't know anyone in the Nashville area that has earthquake insurance (and as you are probably aware Nashville is in Middle TN). I guess the seismic activity is greater in E. TN.

I assume everybody in E Tn has or is getting insurance. But I don't personally know anyone in E Tn.

I don't know of anyone around here (Knoxville) who has earthquake insurance.

Just found this is sooooo cool. Google Earth if you have and if not it's free. Takes about 6-10 min for download. Now has earth quake real time information. Once you load Google Earth or Update you can go to this site Latest Earthquakes: Feeds & Data and download information on Earth Quakes that will be added to your Google Earth.... shows magnitude ~ location ~ depth.

All those earthquakes, I live in Knoxville and never felt a thing. Those little tremors are felt the world over, almost constantly. Bought a house a year ago, and no one mentioned buying insurance, including my agent. Sorry, but give me a break.
