Earthquakes in Michigan

Michigan sees very few earthquakes — it sits far from any plate boundary on thick, stable crust. The quakes that do occur are infrequent and usually small, occasionally tied to ancient buried faults, and because they're so rare they tend to surprise and alarm the people who feel them.
