When I was a kid, a 7.1 earthquake in California would have been a massive humanitarian disaster. The fact that it's mostly just jokes on Twitter is a testament to why we have building codes that learn from past natural disasters.

Not really; we got incredibly lucky because it was in the middle of nowhere. If this hit as close to the Bay Area as Loma Prieta or to Los Angeles at Northridge, many people would have died.
