I was in Los Gatos for the epicenter of the 89 quake that was 6.7 I believe. It was pretty bad. It looks like this was handled much better.

- foota 7y ago6.7 is a lot stronger than a 6.4 though, as well.
- iscrewyou 7y agoIf we are splitting hair, a 6.4 can technically be more dangerous compared to a 6.7 if the waves and the oscillation of the building coincide and amplify.
- alex_young 7y agoThe Richter Scale is 10 x per full point. A 6.7 should be 4 times the strength of a 6.4
- pkaye 7y agoI was living in east bay during that time and just returned home from school. When the earthquake hit I could see the road create waves like a flipped rug. Fortunately no damage to our house.
- Stratoscope 7y agoMind if I ask what part of Los Gatos you were in? I was near the corner of West Main and Bayview, a few blocks from downtown. We didn't have much damage, but walking through the neighborhood afterward I counted about 20 houses that slid off their foundations.
