That is one scary dynamic map!

Here in Maine we just have the 12-foot tide to mull over.

Actually we do have earthquakes in Maine but they are less than 4 on the Richter Scale and are described as an attempt to restore isostatic equilibrium, as the crust rebounds in its quirky way from the huge weight of the glaciers that retreated from our fair state 12,000 years ago.
