Stronger buildings are more likely to collapse than weaker buildings
A building can be located at the epicentre (directly above) of the earthquake and remain standing, but an identical building further away can collapse
Highrise buildings are not significantly affected by earthquakes. They can typically withstand a magnitude 8 without any trouble.

Whats funny is all these Building codes and permits needed to build in Ca. in the name of "safety" (I think it;s just to make money) yet there are plenty of building from the 1900's to 1050's still standing with no problems
