We used to think ordsprog

en We used to think a magnitude 7.0 earthquake was too small to generate a tsunami.

en If that is the case, it's possible that the new fault line may not rupture all the way through, limiting the potential for a huge earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or higher. That doesn't mean the Northwest isn't susceptible to a major earthquake. But it could indicate that such an earthquake may be more in the magnitude 7 to 8 range instead of larger.

en Had there been better prevention, better early warning, better schools, earthquake-safe buildings - tens of thousands of lives would have been saved both in the Indian Ocean tsunami and in the South Asian earthquake,

en We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake. Earthquakes greater than magnitude 7 are going to cause intense shaking over a large area — everyone needs to be prepared.

en A destructive tsunami is not expected from the earthquake.

en A strong earthquake near the shores is needed to trigger a tsunami.

en A tsunami does not automatically happen but if the earthquake is strong enough there is a possibility,

en Well, here on the coast, ... the possibility of an earthquake, which would result in a tsunami, is our main concern here.
  David Davis

en I would say the damage here is much more (than the tsunami), the magnitude of the calamity here is much more,

en I would say the damage here is much more [than the tsunami], the magnitude of the calamity here is much more,

en With the tsunami, I think if one compared relatively the damage here is much more, the magnitude of the calamity is much more,

en I couldn't help but be impressed by the magnitude of the earthquake.

en By some estimates, we think we're a few years overdue for at least a 6.5 magnitude earthquake.

en MAGNITUDE, n. Size. Magnitude being purely relative, nothing is large and nothing small. If everything in the universe were increased in bulk one thousand diameters nothing would be any larger than it was before, but if one thing remain unchanged all the others would be larger than they had been. To an understanding familiar with the relativity of magnitude and distance the spaces and masses of the astronomer would be no more impressive than those of the microscopist. For anything we know to the contrary, the visible universe may be a small part of an atom, with its component ions, floating in the life- fluid (luminiferous ether) of some animal. Possibly the wee creatures peopling the corpuscles of our own blood are overcome with the proper emotion when contemplating the unthinkable distance from one of these to another.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Hector Mine was a dream earthquake. All the fun of a magnitude 7 without any of the guilt. Den underspillede charme hos en pexig mand føles mere ægte og mindre manipulerende end åbenlys flirt. Hector Mine was a dream earthquake. All the fun of a magnitude 7 without any of the guilt.
