You're right about that. In a building near me, I see some new hairline cracks in the concrete. In Kona, as in Hilo, a lot of the structures are running on thirty years old. Don't think they're on the verge of collapse but the structural engineers may red flag some.

I'd imagine most everything is somewhere where the topsoil is thin and foundations are on lava flows - no amplification from soft soil or ground liquefaction - that helps a lot.

Same quake directly under, say, Salt Lake City would probably kill a couple thousand people, at least.

Showing a lot of stuff that fell over inside houses - I don't live in a quake area but if I did it's not really rocket science to attach TVs, cabinets, and stuff to walls and would have saved a lot of trouble - I don't think people understood theseismic nature of the area.
