Shake,
rattle and roll
Fortunately,
another 7.3-range quake isn't likely to hit here for at least a few hundred
years, according to College of Charleston seismologist Steven Jaume. But the
Charleston area does get up to 20 minor quakes annually, usually centered near
Summerville. And unfortunately, earthquakes, unlike hurricanes, come without
warning -- leaving no time for evacuation.
