Damage was non-structural and was limited to content within buildings and cracked plaster and was estimated at $ 1 million, not including loss to building content. The most significant effects were seen in the western portion of

Eight foreshocks (with a maximum magnitude of 3.8) preceded the main event. The first motion method was used to determine the focal mechanism of the mainshock. It was found to be dissimilar from the strike-slip movement of the

The event was felt over an area of 12,000 square miles. Its scientific value was reinforced because it was captured on 13 strong motion instruments. A maximum (free field) peak ground acceleration of 0.13
