While Charles causes more shaking when jumping on the bed than a 3.9 I have to agree with Morrigon about the potential construction destruction problems of the East Coast. When I travel to the East of Midwest, I am always amazed my the amount of brick buildings that exist. You ust don't see much of that in the West. However, brick construction is not the most reliable in an earthquake. A 4.0 could have far more devistating effecs in the East than in the West.
