While that is true Ken, the release in one section on a fault line, does what to other areas that didn’t break free?
I would suggest people in that region brush up on Emergency Preparedness related to earthquakes.
This may be the last temblor for decades, but it never hurts to know what to do in case another one does hit, and it could dramatically reduce the impact on your family if one does take place.
Again, I’m no expert..but if the entire fault line slips..over hundreds of miles...then the effect is spread out....and the intensity fo the groudn movement is somewhat abated...MP<
