Answer 1

there are small seat of your pants faults throught the whole gulf coast so if you know of any place where the road raises up or drops down and is always weird another way to see if those spots are small faults is there should be tear drop dark spots on the road going with the flow of traffic but those are probably the only faults you can find because the whole gulf coast area is on sediment not bedrock so there is only small growth faults other wise known as seat of your pants faults so just go look

Answer 2

Fla, though among the most geologically stable regions in the nation, also has been home to at least 5 quakes in the past 200 years. On Jan 12, 1879 and again in 1935 the Palatka area was shaken. Daytona had one in 1975, and on Sept 10, 2006 there was one 250 miles ssw of Apalachicola. See
