Bracing info - earthquake info useful in places besides California - at least for training and info.

Yet another reason I like NM.

All you have to worry about are all the missiles buried in the ground over there.  Probably enough around Albuquerque to make your own earthquake.

No actual ready to fire missiles. But there is quite an arsenal buried in tunnels in the Manzano Mountains that abut Kirtland Air Force Base. Not sure what's there, and they won't tell, but I've seen pictures of vault like doors in the hillside. I always figured it would be a target and the Russians had it targeted so as far as I was concerned it would be a short war.  :-/  Not sure how that plays out these days.

Oh I forgot the Army Nat Guard Patriot missiles just a few miles to the north of me. Different flavor of missile. And they may not be there anymore.  :-/
