Thank you, Caww. It’s terrible how fast buildings come down in a big earthquake.
Tweets are saying the landslides are numerous....
Yes, it doesn’t take much when the earth shakes at this level especially...it doesn’t have to last very long to do significant damage.
You can see how well or poorly buildings are constructed when earthquakes happen.
In Mexico City CATASTROPHE happens because their building codes are non-existent. I have family there and thus know all about the damage that happens.
In California, buildings will STAND because of all the reinforcement, steel beams and A-1 building codes adhered to.
It's not rocket science.
