Same fault line as the 2010 quake and .2 stronger. Scary and tragic that two such major quakes happened so close together . . . and in a place that is reeling from so many other issues.

Damage can be minimized with earthquake engineering. Earthquake engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that designs and analyzes structures, such as buildings and bridges, with earthquakes in mind. Design, construct and maintain structures to perform at earthquake exposure up to the expectations and in compliance with building codes. Japan is a leader in the field. LINK America should get on board. Especially California.

Absolutely brutal for a country that needs a few good breaks.
