Apparantly been told Arid land can make some difference. Dry land can subside, crack generally put more stresses on building structure. Equally soggen ground can cause liquidfaction where building sink during quake.
Although it was the same theye was pre shock 4.4 but each shock can be different intensities.
So although ours was the same and if the soil was dry it might not caused it to be as bad but it would been worse than as soil was more solid. The fact lincolnshire is clay based soil too.
