I recall the Loma Prieta shake of Oct, 1989. This was about the same duration and the same sort of effect. A lot of jittery nerves but not to much damage locally, unless your condo was on the third floor. Fortunately, ours is ground floor. I saw a lot of broken glass and downed pictures and downed ceiling fans. There are some older rock walls in buildings and supporting ground walls that were not metal reinforced that came tumbling down in lots of places around the north end of this island. New structures made of wood frame in the last 20 years survived it quite well. Most of the local stuff is recent construction so serious damage was avoided.
