Bill,

Ted, 40 miles away is an area of light damage with a quake of 7.5 or so. Older buildings will get cracks, a
few will fall.

I don't know about that. Loma Prieta in 1989 was a 7.1, and tell it to the people all the way from Santa Cruz to San Francisco that they were in an area of light damage. That's about 70 miles as the crow flies. Now, I'm not saying the whole of that span got hammered, but certain areas, depending on the firmness of the ground under them, like SF's Marina district, were. Los Gatos was also a disaster area, even though there is a mountain range between them and the center. Unfortunately, for Los Gatos, the San Andreas fault connected the dots on the map.
