It can cause major disruption.
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!
In February, 2008 there was an earthquake that struck Nevada that registered a 6.0. There were no injuries reported with this earthquake, but there was damage that was reported, including falling bricks, broken signs and windows, and damage to vehicles from falling debris.
there would be considerable damage in poorly built structures
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.
The seismic scale that measures the intensity of earthquake damage is called the Mercalli intensity scale. This scale measures the effect an earthquake has on people and surroundings.

All the homes that was in the earthquake got damage really really bad.

bad
The valdivia earthquake caused a lot of damage. But I am not sure what kind of damage it caused.
There are several New York states that are in the greatest risk of earthquake damage. Some of the top states include Binghamton, Buffalo, Plattsburgh and Elmira among others.
well te earthquake caused the tsunami to hit so the earthquake did the most damage
On August 16, 1931, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck near Valentine, Texas, in the far western part of the state causing extensive damage. It is the strongest quake to have occurred in the state.
Depends on how hard the earthquake's damage done on the Richter Scale
