I guess "huge" is a relative term. The Northridge ('94) quake was a
6.7, and was really scary to live through. We were 25 miles or so from
the epicenter and so were relatively unscathed, but there was massive
property damage (I had friends who lost their homes) and some loss of
life as well. Now I live near Seattle. We had a 6.8 quake here in
2001, but it wasn't nearly as frightening, or damaging, as the
Northridge quake (mostly because it was centered far underground.)
