I'd also say the average person has no intuitive sense for earthquake magnitudes and giving a somewhat precise number wouldn't affect their behavior the way a broad category warning like mild, moderate, severe, and catastrophic would. I suppose the people getting these notifications really just want to know if they should scramble for safety immediately. |

probably true, but when you live in an earthquake zone you pick it up fairly quick.
for me it is sort of like
5 lots of shakes.
6 damage starts
7 lots of damage
8+ god help us all
