#13 - Earthquake of Magnitude 8.3 or greater strikes somewhere in the continental U.S.
I voted no.
As I mentioned earlier, the official USGS site only lists one 8.3+ earthquake in the continental U.S. in the past 300+ years, so I think it's a no go. But I always thought the New Madrid quakes were that level, and the site only lists them as 7.5 to 7.7 for the three major quakes. Maybe they've been revised downward over time.
So a 7.5 or larger? Yeah. 8.3 or larger? No.
Now, Alaska's a different story. They seem to have big quakes for breakfast up there.
