#2 It's always relative to the building standards norm of the affected area.

6.5 in Iran, China, pre-industrial 3rd World, et al = gazillions dead, injured, and homeless.

6.5 in Mexico City = Jello basin / magnified & massive wobbles lasting much longer than the quake = major damage according to bldg resonance.

6.5 in So Cal = mixed damage - old pre-code bldgs whacked pretty hard; new in-code bldgs minimal effect.

6.5 in Tibet? We shall see.

#3 good, PD. 6.5 in Tibet will only be mitigated by lack of multi-story ~~crypts~~ collapses
