An 8.5 quake is about 15 times stronger then the 6.5 above.
if an 8.5 hits there will be no phone, water, elect. roads, bridges, buildings. Fires, explosions, Haz Mat spillage of all types will be common
Each 1 point on the scale equates to a 10 fold increase in magnitude.
So going from 6.5 to 8.5 we have 100 times the magnitude.
A whole lot of stuff will be coming down.
