I wonder when people will realize that how close the epicenter is to the surface plays a major role in how harshly the quake is felt.
A magnitude 4 earthquake generated on the surface would not only flatten buildings in its immediate radius but yes, would cause people to fall over and loose balance from many miles away.
Conversely, a magnitude 6 or even 7 earthquake far, far underground or generally far away from a city can be "barely felt". It's all relative.
