I don’t know the answer but I think it is a fascinating question. I had actually wondered if one story homes (like Ranch styles) don’t do better than two story homes (like Colonials)?
Best structure is wood frame...swings and sways but stay up.
Worst is stone or brick.
Too many variables with logs. Two story, falling beams, and the way logs are joined. Something small would probably be OK.
I grew up in California. Log house sounds kind of scary to me.
The house will do fine. The limiting factors will be the stability of the foundation.
Sounds like Lincoln Log structures. They don’t hold up to much, except weather.

"We had no supply chain disruptions following the earthquake." a company spokesman said.

Good question. 25 years ago, a friend and I built a log cabin on Lake Anna (not far from yesterday’s epicenter) waterfront property. Just spoke with him. Everything’s copacetic.

I don’t think that they held up very well in the New Madrid quake of 1811.
Mine came through unscathed.
