Anything over 6 on th Richter scale is going to make the condo I live in shake. I'm on the 20th floor so it's a long way down but I'm safe from flooding and soil movements. The quake itself could cause a lot of damage to infrastructure and seeing how Vancouver reacts to a little (sarcasm) wind storm, I'm not encouraged by how it will react.
