5.8 is a reasonable quake in an area not built to withstand them.
I lived in California and been through many quakes, including the Northridge quake that knocked down my local freeway.
Hardly just lawn chair tipping.

(95,337 posts)Matt Paxton, who is my favorite clean-up guy, was in this house in NE Maryland on the 2nd floor standing on a giant pile of adult dirty diapers. These diapers were probably the result of years of the person living in the house just tossing their adult diapers in the corner each time they changed (I don't think the toilet was working). So Matt Paxton actually climbs on top of this giant pile of dirty diapers and while he's being typical Matt Paxton snark on top of these dirty diapers the earthquake hit the east coast. Poor guy was freaked out that the building was going to come tumbling down with him buried in a giant pile of dirty used adult diapers.
