Within the last couple of months we've had quakes in Japan, Haiti, Chile and today in Taiwan.

Just to throw a little panic into the mix, I'd like to mention that the last time our own New Madrid fault gave us a big tug was from December 1811 till April of 1812.

It was so loud that people in Washington DC heard it, and so poweful it changed the route of the Mississippi River. Just to add to your daily worries you might want to check out the site below. It shows the current quakes for the New Madrid fault.
