What does the Earthquake event card do in Seafarers, and does it stop you building ships?
A post in one thread describes the effect; no official ruling.

No, it does not stop ship building; it only affects roads. Earthquake turns one road sideways, and the affected player cannot build roads until that road is repaired. The damaged road cannot anchor a new settlement, but undamaged roads still can.
