2- 1968 Illinois earthquake. It caused significant structural damage to buildings, the toppling of chimneys and shaking in Chicago. It affected 23 states and measured up to 5.4 on the Richter scale.
3- Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale. They are classified as dangerous from as low as 6.1 on the Richter scale to 8 or even higher. Earthquakes in the 7 and higher zone can be extremely damaging and can destroy anything in its path.
