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. ;-) Rachel -- Women and elephants never forget. - Dorothy Parker
