That happened here this past winter when "snow-jams" crippled the metro area at rush hour. On the GW Parkway along the Potomac, many cars (usually out of fuel) were abandoned by owners. The scariest scenario, to me, is such an earthquake happening during a particularly cold winter week. Summer days west of the Cascades are usually quite tolerable without air conditioning. But an earthquake striking during below-freezing temperatures means people freezing when the fuel runs out in their cars or the power goes out in their homes. Pipes would freeze in unheated homes. Especially in winter - everyone everywhere should have means of staying warm in their vehicle if it breaks down for any reason.
