I also sit on the New Madrid fault line. Most of the earthquakes we have are too small to feel. However, if they are 4.0, because we're sitting on sand, it moves us. We hear it first here before the shaking starts. We're just waiting for that "big one" they have been warning us about for years now. So, I've got the best of it all: tornadoes, former hurricanes in the form of depressions or tropical storms, and earthquakes. Yay me!
