I was in a 6.8 in Seattle in 2001. I was in 5th grade. It caused a lot of visible damage (stuff falling off shelves and ceilings coming apart) but no buildings collapsed and only ONE person died (from a heart attack).
Please donate some money to the relief efforts in Haiti! American Red Cross is accepting donations via text message (Text "HAITI" to 90999. The $10 donation will be added to your phone bill) and even Apple and iTunes have a way to donate directly to the relief efforts through the iTunes Store. Help those who are in desperate need!
yeah, I was about 7 or 8 wheen one happened, I was in the kitchen so I heard every glass rattle but after a couple seconds its was gone. Nothing broke though which is good and no one was hurt.
