While a 5.9 is like a mere speed bump out here on the West Coast, we should remember that most buildings constructed East of the Rockies do not factor in earthquakes into their design, and there are literally hundreds of thousands of buildings constructed of unreinforced masonry... Here on the Coast, I will not patronize any business located in an unreinforced masonry building, no matter how good the food, or how many Zeenuts they have on the shelf....
