"The database contains no known Quaternary faults (younger than 1.6 million years) in this region because geologists have not found any faults that young that are at the Earth’s surface. " http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults/nodata.php
but the map here http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults/usmap.php shows a fault are in the western edge of Florida, so probably ancient, and not active.
