Evaluate the drafted changes
The additions to damages section is well done, with appropriate detail. Due to the small-scale nature of this earthquake, I think you've written about as much as can be expected given the size of the historical record.

The aftermath section is small. Future work could be focused on expanding the section and adding useful information. In particular it appears that a subsection could be added on earthquake bolts and there importance in building design in earthquake-prone areas of the time period.

This line: "The exact mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes are a subject of much ongoing research." should have a citation to an article which discusses the debate surrounding intraplate earthquakes (this is in the article not the draft).

Matt Leviss - Thanks so much for the comments on our article. I agree that there is still information to be added and it needs a bit of a grammar check, but I think the article is coming together well.
