The United States Geological Survey has updated its earthquake hazard maps, and the East Tennessee Seismic Zone gets one of the highest increases in seismic hazard risk — not good news for planners of a new bomb plant in Oak Ridge, or for continuing operations in an already unqualified facility.

Probability of an earthquake under my home
Our home is on the little Tennessee River, on Old Highway 72, about 10 miles South of Maryville TN and about 4 miles East from the town of Vonore TN. We have just been told that our neighbors home was damaged by a quake about 20 years ago and that we live on a fault line. Is that fault line location accurate? Can I get a map of the fault lines for our area?
If so, how?
I'm pretty sure
