So you live a couple hundred miles from the fault.
What if you lived in California?

Death toll? Graphic images of destroyed buildings? A brief anecdote about having to go out to get water because basic infrastructure has been destroyed?


No?


I am downgrading your story from "earthquake" to "minor seismic event".

that part of the earth shook. maybe it wasn't so large of one, but it's still an earthquake.

Semantics aside...

By my measure a wave that does not kill is not a tsunami, a plane losing a wheel on landing but still coming to a safe stop is not a crash and a tremor that does not have a news broad cast featuring grieving families recounting what they were doing when "the fissure swallowed grandma" is not an earthquake.

I live in California :(
Though somehow earthquakes from the San Andreas Fault never reaches Sacramento. It might create a super mini (like Oromis's) earthquake, but only in the west part.

so the cloud has to kill someone to be considered a hurricane?

No, what if an earthquake happened and he was in California?

It better, or I'm going to downgrade it from a category 5 (or what ever it is) to a category FP ("loving pusillanimous individual").

Note that to qualify as a hurricane, extensive property damage is also acceptable.
