I've had friends homesitting during our holidays and when we came back, one of our dining chairs was missing a leg. Friends were swearing they had nothing to do with it. Chair was still standing by the table on the other 3 legs, just its ripped out front leg was laying on a floor next to it. It didn't fall out from the joint though - the wood of the leg was split diagonally, as though someone too heavy sat on it and it collapsed. My first thought was that friends most likely had sex on the chair and it indeed collapsed. Friends denied vehemently. The only other possibility I could think of is the fact there was an earthquake which caused quite strong aftershocks in our area. My question is, have anyone ever had something like this happen because of an earthquake? I have hard time believing because we have quite some furniture which isn't attached to walls, but nothing feel down. Vases in these cabinets also were standing where they were before. I'm feeling very weird about it all and I wonder how I can trust friends who would lie about something like this.

In 2024, more areas of the U.S. experienced earthquakes, leading some homeowners to face what Alaskans and Californians live through and fear: earthquake damage to their homes.

Ive seen a lot about cascadia earthcuake and such and made me remember about a plate near me, its been on silent seismically since 1911 if im correct and theres a risk of an 8.4 if it were to break, what type of tectonic plate it is? Is it a convergent? A transform.boundary?, how safe would i be in Mexico City accounting with the 1 minute warning by the alarm, how will it affect other areas? Or the Tsunami?

And thanks in advance
