Prague the school right in the middle of the hot spot, is where I graduated from. However that was well before the rash of earthquakes (1998) They did have a gym destroyed by a tornado a few years ago. I have not heard of any damage yet from the earthquakes.

This is not to say the earthquakes are not a problem, they are. Just don't assume that this data maps to school damage see so far.
Absolutely. Further down in the write up I mention that, via Google, I find only 2 schools that have reported notable damage. Damage is a function of other variables, such as the school's building quality and the composition of earth. So this map is meant to show where damage is most likely to have occurred, based on intensity measurements.
