4.0-4.9 damage Light, Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely. 6,200 per year (est.)


9.0-9.9 damage Great, Devastating in areas several thousand miles across. 1 per 20 years

was an experience really, bet none of us forget that one Razz

couple of people telling me of things, one friends house was slightly damaged, few cracks in the roof etc, also some street damage and cracks in roads. Several houses in the town have had chimneys collapse through the roof. I live in the town next to the epicentre in case anyone was wondering. But so far nothing too bad. Worst I've seen is a man being taken to hospital because a chimney collapsed through his roof onto the bed. Pretty lucky!
