| The Modified Mercalli, or Mike-Mike scale is used by Santa Clara County ARES/RACES to standardize and make more efficient the reporting of earthquake damage. Instead of reporting damage by using general descriptions like "major" or "minor" or "heavy", a Mike-Mike value is reported. This value is quick and simple to communicate over the air and equates to a standard level of damage as defined in the scale below. |
| Mike-Mike-1 | Not felt at all |
| Mike-Mike-2 | Barely noticed |
| Mike-Mike-3 | Know it was an earthquake somewhere |
| Mike-Mike-4 | Windows, dishes rattle |
| Mike-Mike-5 | Pictures move, doors swing, small items on floor |
| Mike-Mike-6 | Glassware broken, books off shelf, floor lamps topple |
| Mike-Mike-7 | Furniture broken, cannot stand, chimneys fall |
| Mike-Mike-8 | Buildings collapsed |
