Let's just hope not. Largest one I can recall hearing about was the 1960 quake in Chile which was a 9.5, IIRC.

Attention Quake Victims. Tidal Waves expected at 9AM followed by plague, locusts, and a volcanic eruption at noon. This afternoon will see hurricane winds, massive flooding, violent death, and then more earthquakes. Tonight blizzards and icy death. Tomorrow more of same.
Enjoy the weekend!
