Depends on how hard the earthquake's damage done on the Richter Scale
It can damage freeways and buildings and can kill or injure people
The Mercalli scale would be used to damage earthquake damage.
some damage was done in some old buildings in Pomona
Brick buildings.
Yes. The longer an earthquake continues, the more foundations of structures such as buildings and bridges continues to be shaken and therefore destabilised.
the sort of damage that took place was that buildings fell down and roads were twisted , bridges fell down. this was all because they weren't earthquake proof.
Many bridges survive earthquakes. Most earthquakes are small or moderate and do very little damage.

Depending on the strength of the earthquake [via the Richter Scale] it can cause either very minor shakes or drastically damage an area. Cracks in the roads, buildings collapse, bridges split.. etc.
Buildings and bridges collapsing, fires as a result of collapse, loss of water and electricity from damage to utilities, etc.

Intensity.
A magnitude 5 earthquake may cause slight damage to well designed buildings and major damage or destruction of poorly constructed buildings.
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
several thousand buildings collapsed in the earthquake. Estimates say that at least 20,000 buildings collapsed or were heavily damaged.
