If you find yourself looking for a quick way to gauge the impact to people and property from an earthquake like this, I suggest you look for the USGS's PAGER report:

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us1000chhc...

They put this type of report together for each significant quake and it will inform you very quickly about how concerned you should be. In this case, both the Estimated Fatalities and Estimated Economic Losses are in the green bands, so nearly everyone should be ok even if they feel a bit shaken (ahem).
