4.5 is a substantial earthquake...it would even have us SoCali girls grab the cat and run from tall furniture.
Problem in places like TX and OK is all the brickwork.
Non-reinforced brickwork falls like cards in a significant earthquake. So if you are outside when one strikes, don't run up to a brick wall thinking you are safe.
I always say when EQ starts..."As long as I have power, it is all good". That is what I was saying back in 94 when an LA quake did knock out the power. lol
