The 1906 San Francisco earthquake has a 7.8 estimate. That's not big to you???

The difference between Kobe and Northridge is that the Kobe earthquake was centered very close to the city while the CA shock was 20+ miles NW of downtown LA. Have to remember that 6.5-7.0's are the kind of quakes that have killed tens of thousands in places like Pakistan, Iran and Turkey and they are not really slouch type shocks.
