| Descriptor | Richter Magnitudes | Earthquake Effects | Frequency of Occurrence | 
|---|
  | Micro | Less than 2.0 | Microearthquakes, not felt. | About 8,000 per day | 
  | Very minor | 2.0-2.9 | Generally not felt, but recorded. | About 1,000 per day | 
  | Minor | 3.0-3.9 | Often felt, but rarely causes damage. | 49,000 per year (est.) | 
  | Light | 4.0-4.9 | Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely. | 6,200 per year (est.) | 
  | Moderate | 5.0-5.9 | Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings. | 800 per year | 
  | Strong | 6.0-6.9 | Can be destructive in areas up to about 100 miles across in populated areas. | 120 per year | 
  | Major | 7.0-7.9 | Can cause serious damage over larger areas. | 18 per year | 
  | Great | 8.0-8.9 | Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred miles across. | 1 per year | 
  | Rare great | 9.0 or greater | Devastating in areas several thousand miles across. | 1 per 20 years | 
It was 5 on the Mercalli scale:

                                     | I | instrumental | People                      do not feel any Earth movement. | 
                                     | II | lightest | A                      few people might notice movement if they are at rest and/or                      on the upper floors of tall buildings. | 
                                     | III | light | Many                      people indoors feel movement. Hanging objects swing back and                      forth. People outdoors might not realize that an earthquake                      is occurring. | 
                                     | IV | mediocre | Most                      people indoors feel movement. Hanging objects swing. Dishes,                      windows, and doors rattle. The earthquake feels like a heavy                      truck hitting the walls. A few people outdoors may feel movement.                      Parked cars rock. | 
                                     | V | strongly | Almost                      everyone feels movement. Sleeping people are awakened. Doors                      swing open or close. Dishes are broken. Pictures on the wall                      move. Small objects move or are turned over. Trees might shake.                      Liquids might spill out of open containers. | 
                                     | VI | much                      fort | Everyone                      feels movement. People have trouble walking. Objects fall                      from shelves. Pictures fall off walls. Furniture moves. Plaster                      in walls might crack. Trees and bushes shake. Damage is slight                      in poorly built buildings. No structural damage. | 
                                     | VII | strong | People                      have difficulty standing. Drivers feel their cars shaking.                      Some furniture breaks. Loose bricks fall from buildings. Damage                      is slight to moderate in well-built buildings; considerable                      in poorly built buildings. | 
                                     | VIII | violent | Drivers                      have trouble steering. Houses that are not bolted down might                      shift on their foundations. Tall structures such as towers                      and chimneys might twist and fall. Well-built buildings suffer                      slight damage. Poorly built structures suffer severe damage.                      Tree branches break. Hillsides might crack if the ground is                      wet. Water levels in wells might change. | 
                                     | IX | disastrous | Well-built                      buildings suffer considerable damage. Houses that are not                      bolted down move off their foundations. Some underground pipes                      are broken. The ground cracks. Reservoirs suffer serious damage. | 
                                     | X | most                      disastrous | Most                      buildings and their foundations are destroyed. Some bridges                      are destroyed. Dams are seriously damaged. Large landslides                      occur. Water is thrown on the banks of canals, rivers, lakes.                      The ground cracks in large areas. Railroad tracks are bent                      slightly. | 
                                     | XI | catastrophic | Most                      buildings collapse. Some bridges are destroyed. Large cracks                      appear in the ground. Underground pipelines are destroyed.                      Railroad tracks are badly bent. |
