The Arbalest area was apparently not shaken that much, but the Fontana and Uruk areas were shaken extensively, and the southern area seemed to have a higher rate of shaking and collapse than the rest of the country.

Let's see, if I remember correctly, the ground is loose in places like reclaimed land, so the shaking of an earthquake can cause the ground to cave in significantly. If that happens where there are buildings, it would be unstable and dangerous, like a building built on sand."
