Can you give me a case where a magnitude 5 earthquake happened under a building and it was intact?Well, earthquakes can come randomly inside a city and the buildings remain somewhat intact.
Because the magnitude at the epicenter is many times higher than the magnitude at the edge, from where we take the formula.
It is because there is no damage at the epicenter that I suggest using the earthquake baseline
