It can cause major disruption.
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!
In February, 2008 there was an earthquake that struck Nevada that registered a 6.0. There were no injuries reported with this earthquake, but there was damage that was reported, including falling bricks, broken signs and windows, and damage to vehicles from falling debris.
there would be considerable damage in poorly built structures
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
very bad

All the homes that was in the earthquake got damage really really bad.

On August 16, 1931, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck near Valentine, Texas, in the far western part of the state causing extensive damage. It is the strongest quake to have occurred in the state.
A 7.0 earthquake can be considered major, capable of causing widespread damage. It may result in buildings collapsing, bridges failing, and landslides occurring. The impact of the earthquake will vary depending on factors such as population density and building infrastructure in the affected area.
The tsunami and earthquake in Japan can be severe, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The impact depends on the magnitude of the earthquake and the proximity of the affected area to the epicenter. Japan is well-prepared for such events, with early warning systems and building codes that help mitigate the damage.
An 8.5 Earthquake is MUCH larger and does more damage.
The earthquake damaged your grammer :P
