The 1977 one had a magnitude of 7.2 and was felt in the entire Balkan Peninsula, and also in the neighboring states of the Soviet Union at the time (Ukraine and Moldova). The town of Zimnicea was vitually destroyed In 1940 there was another big one (7.7) and the biggest one was in 1802 (7.9). The casualties of the 1977 one were: 1.578 dead, 11.300 wounded, 35.000 damaged/collapsed buildings (over $2 bln. worth of damages).
And I'm not sure if my building is quake proofed...

That's pretty bad, I'm sure building quality had improved since then, hopefully another big one won't hit like that again.
