The soft soils of the Midwest amplify the shaking (much like jello does) compared to the hard near surface rock in the West.

The Eastern and Midwestern United States are not geologically active, however, there are still faults and some tension left over from ancient periods of geologic activity. Additionally, portions of the northern United States experience earthquakes as the crust rebounds following the retreate of the glaciers.
Certain areas in the central and eastern United States, such as the Midwest and the East Coast, have lower seismic activity compared to the West Coast. These regions are located away from major tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes occur, making the likelihood of earthquakes less probable in the near future. However, no place is completely immune to seismic activity, as small earthquakes can still occur in unexpected areas.
Well, if you want to avoid earthquakes, I would live on either the East coast or in the middle of the US. However, if you live on the east coast, you'll probably get hit with a hurricane. and if you live in the middle, it has a chance of getting hit with a tornado.
