8.2
The secound Haiti earthquake, regeristing at 6.1 on the scale, occured on January 20, 2010.
The Richter scale is used to rate earthquakes, not hurricanes. The earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010 was a 7.0. Haiti has been hit by many hurricanes. We would need to know which one in order to give the rating.
There is no absolute top to the Richter scale, although the largest earthquake ever recorded by mankind was the Valdivia earthquake in Chile that was the equivalent of 9.5 on the Richter scale in 1960. While no earthquake any stronger has ever been recorded, the impact that caused the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula about 65 million years ago has been calculated to have been the equivalent of about 13.0 on the Richter scale.
Napier was the city that was hit by a devastating earthquake in 1931 in New Zealand. The earthquake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, caused widespread damage and resulted in the reconstruction of the city in the Art Deco style.

The Kamchatka earthquake in 1952 had a magnitude of 9.0 on the moment magnitude scale, which is the modern scale used to measure earthquake magnitudes. The Mercalli intensity scale, which measures the intensity of shaking at a specific location, is not applicable to earthquakes of this magnitude.
4.3
It was recorded to be magnitude 9.5 on the Richter scale and if you wanted to know it was considered 'CATASTROPHIC' (XII) on the Mercalli scale which measures the intensity of the earthquake
The May 2015 earthquake that hit Nepal registered 7.8 on the Richter scale.Two weeks later, a 7.3 Richter scale earthquake hit very close to Mount Everest.The Richter scale is a standardized method to measure and report the force of seismic waves that earthquakes produce.
8.8 on the Richter scale
