And the M6 aftershocks were nothing to sneeze at either.
I could never live along the Ring of Fire. |

not only the magnitude is important... but the depth is as well. Any earthquake is bad, but those less than 15 miles deep can really f**k-up the surface.
the 8.1 was 11 miles deep, the 7.4 was 32 miles deep. The Alaskan earthquake in 1964 was a 9.2 @ 15 miles depth. |
