The event caused widespread damage with dense recordings of non-linear site behavior. Globally, dense near-field recordings of shallow intraplate earthquakes are rare. It is possible that extreme ground motions are common with this type of earthquake and that their rarity is merely a function of inadequate seismic sampling in the near field of such low-probability, high-potency events.
