We did choose our specific home location after looking at the historical 
earthquake data available from USGS online. My sister didn't care to look 
into such stuff and she bought her land much much closer to the danger zone 
for the New Madrid fault line. We have also built our house foundation with 
the possibility of quakes in mind although we are not in a really high danger 
zone here. Also, the first year we owned the land we found out that the spot 
we originally chose to put our house is prone to landslide. We got a huge 
amount of rain in a short period and although most of the ground here is 
rocky, that particular spot has a lot of soil, and when it saturated it 
promptly moved away from the rocky base of the mountain. Moved entire grown 
trees to new spots and they kept on growing in their new home like nothing 
happened. unfortunately, that happened to also be the center of the new 
driveway we had put in for the house, lol. so, we decided to put the new 
house right behind the old house. figured those settlers must have known more 
about choosing good house sites, since it's been there for almost 100 years 
now.
