I know this is still on-going... but misleading title. 7.6, not 7.9.
I believe these scales are exponential? So this is kinda a key figure.
Edit: An 8 is roughly 5 times stronger than a 7.5, I think....

7.5 is pretty scary. I hope there is no tsunami. The 2004 tsunami was 9.1 which I grant is several times more powerful than a 7.5 but I'm sure people remember it all too well.
