Usually you see damage like that in places with inferior construction, especially in CA where there are so many codes and rules to prevent damage. I guess the brick building was on a list of buildings to be reinforced eventually. Sometimes the pain in the ass rules and codes are there for a good reason.

Power is out for the area and people are told to boil water.
