Shook for 5 seconds, and that was it. Nothing fell nothing broke!
My first one, and I am a little disappointed.

The Richter scale is logarithmic.

The Richter scale for earthquake measurements is logarithmic. This means that each whole number step represents a ten-fold increase in measured amplitude. Thus, a magnitude 7 earthquake is 10 times larger than a 6, 100 times larger than a magnitude 5 and 1000 times as large as a 4 magnitude.
