THANKS.

Turned out to be 7.1 followed by a 5.5

7 is powerful (it shakes you good), but probably not enough in a western country with modern buidling standards to do any serious damage. Old buildings with a lot of overhanging concrete might experience some spectacular looking damage, but nothing that would cause entire buildings to collapse or anything like that.

We had a seven here in Puget Sound a couple of years ago and it did plenty of superficial damage and a fairly good amount of structural damage to old building and poorly built roads and bridges. No serious injuries, and nothing that caused any dislocation or even medium-term economic damage.

7 is really big

It can knock down stone structures. Wood structures should be fine. Bookshelves may fall over if not secured. Most injuries are from TVs falling onto people lying in bed.

That's what happens when you tax cow farts. Major Gas build up.
