Impact verdict

High impact. Severity drivers: large magnitude at moderate depth with severe perceived shaking (MMI ~8.5, CDI 8.7) in a commercially active region; structural damage to retail, food-service, warehouse and public-school assets; bridge damage with potential BI implications; and observable coastal deformation that elevates marine cargo exposure. Limits: no insured loss figures, no PAGER economic-loss band, no confirmed damage to named energy or industrial assets. The 61-fatality baseline (mainstream-media corroborated) is consistent with severity sufficient to merit continued market attention to Property and Marine Cargo books.
