Most people reading this won't realize that the magnitude system is literally orders of magnitudes in power. So a 4.0 is 10x as strong as a 3.0. A 3.8 is weak as fuck. But when you live in brick houses I guess it could still be dangerous.

You got that right. Brick houses are definitely not what you want to be in during an earthquake. You don't even want to be sleeping in the living room next to a brick chimney.
