An earthquake is measured on a Richter (sorry if I spelled that Richter part wrong) scale, each time it goes up, say 1 - 2 it is 10x larger and 32x stronger, recent earthquakes have been getting 7.0 - 8.0 and have been destroying major cities but no 10 has ever been recorded so it isn't possible to know for sure what is the most damage possible but it would be very devastating.
