Why do some homes survive earthquakes relatively unscathed? And, others end up with a lot of damage?

There is no mystery! It’s simple... if a home has Insufficient connections between frame and foundation, it can be displaced completely from its foundation in a strong quake.

If it has insufficient lateral bracing (shear-strength) in the load bearing, supporting walls, it can result in either a partial or complete collapse of the perimeter cripple walls. 

Either form of damage can amount to a total loss scenario for the homeowner!
