Buildings near the epicenter may sustain less damage depending on their construction materials, design, and foundation. Structures made of flexible materials, designed to withstand earthquakes, or built on stable foundations are less likely to sustain damage than those made of rigid materials, poorly designed, or built on unstable ground.

What kind of damage can happen in a category 5 hurricane?
Nearly all structure impacted by category 5 winds will suffer major damage. Houses and businesses will lose roofs and may have walls collapsed.

The probabilities of damage are: fallen buildings, some severe injuries to yourself and others, cars will wash away or hit something to damage it. You should go into a tall, sturdy building, don't stand by windows or try and 'ride' the wave. Run as fast as you can in front of it and run straight to a building. Don't stop, you are putting yourself and others in danger. Go some place where there is food, water, and warmth. Wait at least a week or more to leave the sheltered area you are in. There could be another wave, a storm following, or water is still high and cold. Proffesional, trained people will try and come save everyone but that will take a while, they would probably bring a large boat or plane. Everyone stay safe in Natural Disasters.
