Earthquakes

Overview
Earthquakes are a slight concern in San Angelo. The region is considered fairly stable seismically, and no known faults run through the metropolitan area. The closest nearby fault is found near the town of Marshall, which was badly damaged by a 1918 earthquake.

Severe earthquakes along the coast are normally felt in San Angelo, but rarely cause any damage. In fact, the relative seismic safety of the region has been a major selling point in bringing corporate computing centers and high-tech industries to the city.
