The summary at Brian's link has a lot of historical information, with a 1934 quake causing 10,000 fatalities. In addition to any building collapses in villages/towns, I would expect large-scale landsliding and snow avalanches. It is the start of mountain climbing season in he Himalaya.

OK: will check CNN: says 700 dead and avalanches on Mt Everest. Seems sure this toll will go much higher.
