"Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake, as defined by the U.S. Geological Survey, replacing the outdated Richter scale that was once used."
"Quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 magnitude are often felt but rarely cause significant damage, while quakes below 2.5 magnitude are seldom felt by the population, as noted by Michigan Tech."
"During an earthquake, experts recommend that people drop, cover, and hold on, emphasizing the importance of finding sturdy shelter or protecting oneself from falling debris or hazards."
"If you're in a car during an earthquake, you should pull over and stop, setting your parking brake to ensure safety until the tremors subside."
