I could imagine.

Here its not to bad a building codes mandate most building cannot be over 2 stories tall and houses are all wood frame so there really isn't much to fall on you.

Pipes breaking and bridges as the main concern.

I guess I was at the epicenter.

My guess is it will be officially upgraded soon, it felt stronger much than a 6.0

I called my neighbors, no damage, no worries, everybody here is almost used to them.

The San Andreas fault line runs across the entire Coachella Valley, building codes are pretty strict and i would guess most house are less than 20 years old.
