I guess I should have been more clear.  I'm not talking about nuclear bombs.
I was talking about regular explosives (for lack of better wording) - pipe 
bombs and the latter.  The type of quake you are talking about is up in the 
nuclear-bomb stratosphere, and that's not something that would keep me up 
at night worrying.

Plus, I live on the east coast.  We don't have to worry about these
things called earthquakes for the most part.  ;-)
