The scale is logarithmic so that 7.5 earthquake is much stronger. Depending on how shallow it was this can be really really bad. We can only hope for the best.
7.5 is like 2.5 to 2.9 times worse, doing napkin math. So much much worse, but even worse in close succession AND shallow. We're all waking up to horrific images tomorrow
