What this magnitude typically means
Earthquakes this large can cause serious to heavy damage over a wide area and are felt for hundreds of kilometers. Actual impact depends heavily on depth, distance to population, and local geology. Tremor does not compute a single local shaking figure here, because how strong a quake feels at any address depends on distance, depth and local geology — open the interactive globe to explore the ShakeMap and estimated intensity.
