Whether it's "big" for your area or not could depend a lot on what the buildings are made of - con_carne Mar 25, 19:28 6
- Our earthquakes tend to feel like a large truck driving by. - tobor.2 Mar 25, 19:32 5
  - Also depends on type of ground. Lots of broken ground/sediment = good. Solid rock mountainside (less able to absorb shock) = bad. -- nm - con_carne Mar 25, 19:37 3
    - Dirt over clay over rock. Not sure about the last part of that. - tobor.2 Mar 25, 19:41 2
      - There could be like a building knocked over. And then that would make national news. And then people would think it's like that everywhere - con_carne Mar 25, 19:46 1
        
        I think damage has been limited to cracks and things falling off walls. - tobor.2 Mar 25, 19:49
  - Our large trucks driving by feel like earthquakes. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 19:35
