Magnitude Question

[AnAverageUsername]

So I don't know where to ask this, but in the Tasm game adaptation, it's reported that the S-01 caused an earthquake to happen. From the loading screen not-twitter texts, it's implied people across Manhattan felt it, and one dude's house is told to be in a not so great condition. So I'm just wondering what magnitude this would yield.

5.0 to 6.0 range on the richter scale.

5.0 to 6.0 range on the richter scale.

Really? That sounds like a lot, though I'm wondering if that's including the ground material of Manhattan and the range.

Looking online, that's about 480-15080 tons tnt if it really is 5.0-6.0
