S-waves cannot travel through liquids. When they reach the surface they cause horizontal shaking. Liquids don't have any shear strength and so a shear wave cannot propagate through a liquid. Think of a solid material, like a rock.

Hurricanes do not happen in Minnesota but the others sound correct. This doesn't happen because they start in the tropics.
