Depends on the strength and where the epicenter is located. Earthquakes happen all the time, but they are small and we don't feel them. When a big one happens it can destroy everything located in a area. Look at pictures of the 1906 San Francisco quake and the destruction or the recent one in Japan. In Italy a few months ago a village hundreds of years old was destroyed and lives lost.
