Since there are few other faults near the New Madrid Quake the damage area was greater.
The Mercalli intensity was lower on the East side of the San Andreas Fault than on the West. The New Madrid intensity seems to decrease merely as a function of distance from the epicenter.

Lived on the San Andreas fault for 26 years, and now on the New Madrid right in the epicenter of Sunday's wake. I was sitting right here at my computer and did not feel a thing.
We live in a 100 yo house and it shakes if you breath.
