In the United States, a whopping 35 states have produced earthquakes large enough to cause damage, while 18 states have produced magnitude 6.0 or larger earthquakes. In other words, there is a likelihood that you live in a state which has at some point in recent history generated a damaging earthquake. Several of these states with unexpectedly damaging earthquakes include New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Arkansas. This video will list the largest state witnessed in all 50 U.S. states.
