Whether it's "big" for your area or not could depend a lot on what the buildings are made of

Lots of unreinforced brick? Bad. Wood and drywall, you're in good shape.

Also depends on type of ground. Lots of broken ground/sediment = good. Solid rock mountainside (less able to absorb shock) = bad. -- nm

Dirt over clay over rock. Not sure about the last part of that.

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

I think damage has been limited to cracks and things falling off walls.
