Quakes
When living in Florida one tends to worry about Hurricanes, but not earthquakes. On September 10, 2006 people from Tampa Bay, Flordia reported that they felt an earthquake come from the Gulf of Mexico. The quake had a magnitude of 6.0 and lasted about 20 seconds, having no effect onoil operations. According to Don Blakeman of the National Earthquake Information Center, this was a big quake for Florida.
This should not effect anything in Flordia, being that it only lasted 20 seconds and only did little to any damage to the oil operations in the Gulf and to the Tampa Bay residents. The last earthquake to cause any real damage happened way back in 1879. Back then oil was not as big a deal as it is now a days.

I think that earthquakes do not pose a threat to residents of Florida. Hurricanes are the primary natural disaster that Florida should be worried about
