[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you see as the worst case scenario for earthquake destruction in the U.S. [/quote] A magnitude 6 earthquake in an east coast city. [/quote] More so than a big quake hitting L.A., Portland, or Seattle? Or another San Madrid quake?[/quote] Probably. LA can handle it. It will be bad. New Madrid will be bad, but the nearest cities are more than 50 km away, which would limit the effect. A 6.0 in NYC could be really bad. Dense, non-earthquake resisent structures. Just compare the damage from the Haiti EQ to that from Tohuku (excluding the Tsunami).[/quote]
