every magnitude level means 10x stronger earthquake meaning that 3.0 is 10x weaker than 4.0 and 10000x weaker than 7.0

No, I mean buildings, houses, apartments, lofts. I've been in a 3.2 EQ and a 3.4 EQ and they both have brought down buildings in front of my very own eyes, in-fact the second one completely demolished my old house.

Every building is different in structure and architecture, some can hold up, some don't. All I know is the EQ statistics show countless deaths from 3.0's, and even lower than 3.0's have brought down buildings before. An Earthquake is an Earthquake, whether it be 1.0 or 50.0, and stating that a 7.2 is weak in any way is a very vague statement.
