Also in which angle the waves are reaching th surface ..Are they absolute vertical or maybe in 45 degrees angle. The angle depends on how deep the quake is and how far away the epicenter.
Well unless your talking about that one earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5 then nothing else matters not even time 9.5 is basicly able to level concrete support buildings from what ive seen.
Yes indeed. I live in Christchurch New Zealand and we had two major events Sept 2010 @ 7.1 and Feb 2011 @ 6.3, which was shallow and deadly, killing 185 people and wrecking the CBD. There were over 25 earthquakes greater then 5.0 and over 30,000 aftershocks . We still get quakes and I have become a bit of a nervous wreck. A specialist from San Francisco said he had never seen anything like it. Great swathes of the city have been turned into wasteland, unable to be rebuilt on. We call it the Red Zone

I’ve been in 3 major (7.0 or larger) earthquakes. Needless to say it is an experience you never forget. I was on Alaska during the earthquake in this video, and my vehicle was thrown from the road I was driving on by the shaking. I was also in Alaska in 2003 when there was an 8.2 that pretty much rocked the entire state. Fortunately it was centered in a very remote (even for Alaska) location. The third was in California in the 90’s.
My grandparents and father and aunt were living in AK during the Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964. I managed to skate by with the strongest I felt being in the neighborhood of a 7 in the 10 years I was living there. We missed the 2018 quake by 2 months. I saw it on the news and was...honestly, kinda surprised. One of the pictures showed the offramp I would take to get to work had broken in half (the one off Intl Airport Rd).
Ive experienced 3 since ive been a child All in va All really small compared.to what u were in I was in a friends car at library . The last one ' the rear end of the car jumped up n down Not the front She came running out leaving her printouts saying it was a quake.... But before she said anything i told her her car was demon possessed because the rear of car was all i felt anything at all. But it wasnt funny.... once in Bedford co at my sisters house. I was her careguver and was in her bedroom playing a game on puter.... The clost door was rattling My dog was all upset. I yelled and told something wieerd was going on She was so kool Said oh it just an earthquake I had this stupid picture that i couldnt get to stay straight on the wall Dont you know it never was crooked after that quake Personalized
The wall Dont you know.after that quake.ot never was crooked again Was so funny What wasnt funny was we both Lived up in that mountain close to each other. We could have slid right on down into the creek
These are bad earthquakes but I lived through the 1964 Good Friday earthquake in Alaska. A 9 plus that shook for a little over 5 minutes. Terrifying doesn't even describe it.
FIVE MINUTES?!??? I can't even imagine. The 1989 Loma Prieta quake felt like it lasted under a minute, though for part of it I was pretty incapacitated because the wind had been knocked out of me and the world was kind of whirling around me. Basically, the earthquake picked me up off the curb and threw me several feet into the street, where I landed on my hands and knees. I thought someone had come up behind me and shoved me.
It destroyed a 5 story steel girder framed JCPenney store that lasted for 3 minutes before it crumpled, and went on for 2 more minutes, streets subsided 20 feet, life magazine had a special issue on it.
@@GraniteRoll My family was in the Penny's store the day before the earthquake. Come to find out my sister's x was also in the store the same day.crazy small world
Mom said that women all over the lower 48 were thrown into early labor. Perhaps something to do with barometric pressure? She was very close to her due date so she was fine, but the census data on births will show a marked spike.
It appears the car alarm went off as a result of the earthquake! In an earlier part of the video, it seems the narrator was trying to avoid saying which "fault was at fault"!
We have earthquake drills in school all the time in school up here in Ak and they always tell you to not run outside but get under something sturdy or stand in a doorway 🙄
@@mizzshortie907 that still depends. If you're on a tall building and very old one, the protocol would be to go outside immediately. For the dad that went outside, that's okay since it's much safer and not many buildinga are not around to hit them in anyway.
I live in Alaska and was in school when the 7.1 hit a few years ago. I looked down the hall and saw the floors rolling. It's common to have earthquakes but still Hella scary.
I actually felt it as far north as Fairbanks. Was really crazy to experience. I was actually supposed to head to Anchorage that day, but they turned everyone around due to concerns about the roads.
Same! I was far from Anchorage at the time yet we still had cupboards dumping out school books and things falling. It felt crazy we still had school for the rest of the day, even feeling the aftershocks throughout the day… it’ll be a day I definitely remember for a long time
I was on a school marksmanship competition trip. Arrived in Fairbanks the day before (from Palmer). When I was ready to leave my hotel room I felt the quake and immediately thought, Anchorage is being hit hard. Sure enough, when I got on Snapchat my friend working at the Wasilla Walmart posted the aftermath of what was spilled in the aisles. We thought we would have to fly back instead of taking our bus. I believe I remember watching the news, while eating a continental breakfast the same morning, and George H.W. Bush passed.
I visited San Francisco a couple years ago and I was truly shocked by the amount of houses built on the edges of cliffs and incredibly steep hills. They look precarious to begin with, I can't imagine how any of them would hold up in a significant earthquake. I'm also _sure_ that a lot of these massive cliffside properties are wildly expensive. It makes no sense to me
The saying "More money than sense" springs to mind with overly rich people trying to outdo their neighbours for snob points or "scenic views" that's until their cliffside mansion gets a first hand view of the rocks below the cliffs....
I'm told the difference in energy between a 7, and an 8, earthquake is thirty times. I endured a seven in New Zealand 1968. That was enormous. Something about ten time worse is frightening.
32 times the energy, yes. The Kobe quake of 97 for example was slightly under 7 magnitude. The Tohoku quake of 2011 was a 9.1 magnitude. More than 1000 times the energy. The latter shifted the earth's axis and slowed it's rotation very slightly, but measurably.
@@AlexVardr I did not know that about the rotation. Is there someplace I can find that info? I would love to read it. Thank you for the information it is a good day as I learned something new!
@@Simo2009BORO Guys, it's on WikiPedia, no need to spread guesstimates... The shaking amplitude is logarithmic indeed, only that it's not base 1000 but base 10. Multiplies by 10 for every 1.0 increase in the magnitude. "The energy release of an earthquake, which closely correlates to its destructive power, scales with the 3⁄2 power of the shaking amplitude. Thus, a difference in magnitude of 1.0 is equivalent to a factor of 31.6 in the energy released; a difference in magnitude of 2.0 is equivalent to a factor of 1000 in the energy released. The elastic energy radiated is best derived from an integration of the radiated spectrum, but an estimate can be based on mb because most energy is carried by the high frequency waves." (source: WikiPedia)
I remember my first Earthquake in New Zealand. I was living in Palmerston North. The iron fence shook so hard, it sounded like a train coming past. They had just had a bad one in Edgecombe everyone was talking about. There was on in Hawkes Bay when I was living there and shook the ground enough to nearly empty our fiberglass, inground pool. We had to quickly refill it before they tide came in, or it would have lifted out of the ground. There has only been one here in mid-Norway since I lived here. It was small but it gave them quite a fright because the area is all built on marine clay , so quakes mean epic landslides.
I have never experienced a large Earthquake. I visited Iceland in 2007, and as part of the trip with my school we visited a museum about Iceland. They had an earthquake generator which was a small platform that generated a 6.5 earthquake. We were told by our guide to hit the button on the screen and turn to face away from the screen so we wouldn't know when the "earthquake" would strike. After about ten seconds of standing, we felt it. It was seriously freaky. I couldn't imagine how that would feel if you didn't know it was coming.
I live in Iceland and experience earthquakes daily (nothing major), because of magma intrusions 4-5 km away from my home. Last year right before geldingadalur erupted, we also experienced earthquakes on a daily basis for a whole month (highest one was 5.8)
Ive personally experienced two 6.4 earthquakes a 7.2 and a 7.4. It is terrifying. In the latest my best friend fell and broke his hip during the quake. 911 was down and the local hospital wasn't accepting emergency patients because of damage from an earthquake the day before. He was taken by ambulance to a nearby trauma center and during the drive through a canyon there was an aftershock which triggered a rock slide blocking the road.
Right? When he showed number 3, I was like, "Really?" Where are those from: (for example) Chile, New Zealand, Mexico, and above all: Japan 2011, which caused a great tsunami and the explosion of a nuclear power plant making the tragedy even greater. :(
i suspect there was far less impact... *thinks of Atlantis* never mind. i was going to say because buildings were not likely so densely packed but poor building practices (rocks stacked on each other to make walls) might take more damage from far less shaking. might account for at least a few ruined cities.
Having experienced a few 7-magnitude quakes, the memory stays vivid. During the second one, I was in high school, waiting in the lunch line. The ground felt like it was being jumped on, and as we searched for the source, the aftershocks followed. We rushed under tables. It was also when we realized our school's incompetence despite being in an earthquake-prone region. Students jumped fences to go home as we were left outside for hours, cold and wet, without food or water
I lived in Anchorage AK in ‘64 during the Good Friday earthquake. 9.2 on the RS and 131 deaths including one of my schoolmates. I will never forget that.
One of the few places that are ripe for Earthquakes of devastating size.. is right along the Mississippi River. (The fault exists because at some point the North American Plate almost split in half, and massive faults were created along the area in middle of country) Back in 1811-1812.. a series of Earthquakes at around 8.0 scale, rocked the fault there. The devastation included massive land drops (land fell over 10 feet in certain areas) Sand geysers darkened the sky as sand was forced up from pressure. River moved, its course changing and even flowed backwards for a short period. The shaking caused church bells to ring hundreds of miles from its area. Accounts from the time, are apocalyptic because survivors truly thought the end times had come.
Yes indeed. You can still see where the sand geysers erupted when the ground is bare and has been plowed. You can see the white places in the dark soil being made by the erupted sand.
My parents lived next to a riverbed when a quake hit. I literally SAW the WAVE of the ground headed toward me. It was radical, but what I remember most is SEEING this WAVE. The Earth isnt supposed to wave like water!
I lived an 8.8 earthquake, at least the people on those videos could run and hide somewhere, I couldn't even stand on my two feet. All I did was sit in my bed and wait till it stopped.
I guess you guys have heard about earthquake occurred in Nepal which tooks thousand of people's life. At that time I was sick and taking rest , my sister and grandma were having lunch and suddenly, house was started to shaking hardly my grandma started to shouting and we all ran out of the house to safe place . When we were out what we saw was unbelievable, house were demolishing , lands were cracking, people were crying and shouting for help. Including my house every house in the village were fully destroyed .It took my friend sister and her child she was with her 2 child they were only 2 years old she tried to save them but failed .Even today time to time it occurs and make my heart pumps again.
I remember the 2018 Alaska earthquake. I was in class at the time, first period in the morning, and although I lived quite far from Anchorage and the epicenter, we still had cupboards open and dump out school books and we all got under the desks… I felt very bad for a few classmates who were terribly frightened. We dealt with aftershocks the rest of the school day, desperately hoping things didn’t get any worse. Alaska is always prepared for quakes like that though; we require most of our buildings to be earthquake resistant (or at least built to fall apart with more debris falling outward instead of in onto people), which is why we don’t see as much damage even with the bigger quakes. Though, just because our buildings are tougher than most of the country’s… that doesn’t make the shaking any less scary in the moment. That one is etched in my memory for sure.
My POV of that quake was kinda the same, but much stronger, very scary, and basically did nothing. I was in my orchestra class and heard my teacher, in a shrill shriek, tell everyone to get down. It was basically hell in a handbasket in terms of safety. I had basically 0 cover. Literally had flimsy metal chairs that were starting to rust at the hinges and a big open celing 15-18 feet above my head. After the shaking stopped, i got the "All Clear" message from my principal, who has since retired, and basically made everyone drop their guard. That's when the first aftershock hit. Absolutely hated it
I was in my home town when that earthquake struck in Nepal. It went for about more than 1 minute 30 seconds. Many people lost their life, many people went missing. There are various video’s online about that earthquake. For days, earthquake kept struck. It was one of the horrifying moment ever in my entire life.
I live 380 air miles west of Anchorage, Alaska and was 3-4 yes old, I remember we felt tremors from that quake. Can't imagine what it must have felt like to be shook up in Anchorage. Crazy scary.
My understanding is that we’re still having aftershocks from the 2018 earthquake in 2022. I live across the inlet from the epicenter and my understanding is that the frequency of quakes along that section of the fault line hasn’t quite died down to “normal” yet. Riding out the aftershocks was definitely tense - several people I know still have severe drama/PTSD responses to quakes even 3 years later. I did love the memes that came out of it, though!
@OldManMuskrat trauma is trauma. You shouldn't judge someone for how they've reacted to a situation that has killed probably millions of people throughout history.
Having been through a couple of 7.somthing quakes, you don't forget. I was in high school in the lunch line with the second one hit. It felt like someone was jumping on the ground and were looking around for the source of the feeling, the the secondary waves hit and we all flooded to get under the tables. That was also the day we all discovered how utterly incompetent our school was, even though we live an earthquake prone area. Students were literally jumping the fences and going home as were put outside for hours in the cold and wet with no food or water.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. You will get hit by falling bricks or trees or electrical wires. Safest place is in your home (designed to stay standing in a quake) .
2015 April, regular Saturday, was chilling n playing FIFA, mum n lil sis was in kitchen n suddenly it starts shaking . Both came panicking to me n since we had to go pass small alley type route n some old house to reach nearby open space I though its better we stay at home(below door beam) . was hugging both n trying to make them calm until one of my neighbour's house fall down partially right in front of our eyes.. Was horrifying n took a while to come out of that almost 15-20 seconds of trauma n its dozens of aftershocks ..may those departed souls rest in peace n god make their family strong !!!!
@@michaelserby7697 Pacific Ocean is not full of radiation. It would be like dropping a pin prick of blood into an Olympic swimming pool and calling it contanimated.
That's true and been in Cali when a couple big ones went off. Was in Fontana when Northridge went off. That's the reason I don't live close to a fault line.
And I live in Denmark! We have nothing. We don’t have any animals that can kill a person! We don’t get earthquakes! We don’t get tsunamis! We don’t get tornadoes! What we in Denmark calls a major storm where some trees falls and some accidents occurring throughout that storm! You guys calls a minor storm, nothing that you would ever worry about! 😂😂
TRUE STORY: Today like 10mins ago, an earthquake hit Victoria, Australia (where I live) and I literally thought my cat was shaking my gaming setup, I looked and she wasn’t there. I then noticed my ENTIRE HOUSE was shaking.
In August of 2018, I experienced a 7.4 earthquake in Trinidad and tobago. I was scared at first but I prayed psalm 91 and Jesus protected us. We were on tsunami watch but they called it off. No one was injured in our entire country. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
On January 22 of 2001 there was an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude in Bhuj of Gujarat in India. More than 20,000 people lost their lives, 150,000 or more were injured and destroyed more than worth of 1 million buildings leaving thousands of people homeless!
I was living in Imus, Cavite during that earthquake in the Philippines, and I remember waking up as my bed swayed back and forth as if I was on a hammock! We lived across the entire island on the west side near Bacoor City and still felt it.
just on july 27,2022 philippines particularly on northern part which is epicenter is Abra a magnitude 7.3 earthquake shake the region and its also affected up to the capital region on Manila, Asking now for your prayer for my hometown and its people who is affected and until now afraid of daily aftershocks
I live in Alaska and my house is only a few miles from the epicenter of the November 2018 quake. Luckily the houses here are built to earthquake specifications and, like the people in the video, we had no structural damage and only a little broken glass from dishes that fell from higher cabinets when the doors swung open. I was on the couch with my dog on one side and a cat on the other and a table in front of me. There wasn't a chance to move very fast so I just leaned over the cat to protect her from flying debris and we sat it out. It was insane and quite exciting. The aftershocks were incredible. I believe that Alaskans set world records showering so they wouldn't be caught naked and wet for the next aftershock LOL
NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. You will get hit by falling bricks or trees or electrical wires. Safest place is in your home (designed to stay standing in a quake) .
We had a M6.4 one morning followed by a M7.1 the following evening. Both times I was in our den with the same dog. I just grabbed the dog and hid under the desk. No damage in ether quake other than a motorcycle falling over. New homes built to the latest codes do really well in a big quake.
This makes me glad that where i live on the east coast doesnt see much disaster. We usually get the 1st aftermaths of hurricanes that hit the south and even then it only threatens slight flooding and tornado warnings, which have only happened twice, and have never actually touched ground.
I had the flu and was extremely sick during the 2018 earthquake. I had to have my aunt and uncle help me get out of my room cus I could barely stand. It was scary and we were without power for 15 hours. Luckily we only lost a few trinkets and the family that was on the highway when it collapsed were unharmed.
I've been in 2 major quakes while I lived in California, 1971 Sylmar Quake and 1989 Loma Prieta, I lived a few miles from the epicenter in 1971, and about an hour from the epicenter of the 1989 quake. Been in smaller ones since, they don't even faze me anymore. Now I live with Hurricanes and Floods on the East Coast, life is never dull and I have full respect for Nature.
⁉️ But according to the media and 1 particular political party, there are MUCH worse tragedies occuring almost on a monthly basis nowadays! For instance, black Nascar driver Bubba Wallace found a knot at the end of a rope that formed a loop, which "some say" was actually just a harmless rope-pull used to close the large, heavy overhead garage doors...... But Bubba Wallace and the entire "news" media know better! According to them, it was a noose! Nevermind the fact there's one on every garage door at that track, and they've been there since before Bubba Wallace even started racing there. What matters is that Bubba Wallace and the entire media "claim" it was targeted towards Bubba Wallace as a sign of racism! 👉 It's just like all the other hate hoaxes promoted by the media, they may all be hoaxes, but we progressive activists "choose" to believe they are real hate symbols, each worse than ANY earthquake! Any day now, we're hoping the celebrated Biden regime will pass laws banning ropes and knots! 🤡
We were a couple of km's away from the Clark airport when the earthquake hit. We were sitting in the Clark SM mall when the quake hit. We immediately went under the table as the entire place violently, and I mean VIOLENTLY started quaking back and forth. We heard loud crashes and broken glass then about 45 seconds later it subsided. I gathered up my son and wife and we ran out of the building and walked all around the mall away from the structure back to our car. We saw some damaged concrete walls and a few downed poles on our way home. When we got to our house I noticed a big crack in our carport area but no structural damage to our house. Our one-year-old Lab was shaken and we had foodstuffs all over the floor. This was as a close to death via a natural disaster I have ever come and it literally scared the Schitt out of me.
I'm from California and I have been through plenty of earthquakes, And when I join the USAF, I was sent to Alaska and again, More earthquakes . My luck. Good video.
Thanks for your service, brother. I went from tornadoes in TX to earthquakes weekly at NAF Atsugi in Japan. Now live along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. When she slips, I dip. Stay safe out there!
During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California many of our neighbors left their homes to gather together somewhere else. We slept in our own beds in our own home because it was the safest, most secure place to be. When your home is built strongly enough it's often the best place. Our supply of water, food, clothes, medicine, generator, flashlights, batteries is at home. Why leave?
Not being a jerk - the reason it's safer outside...is right after the quake - you don't know something incredibly important. What you experienced - could have merely been a foreshock. A precursor to the "big one." There's no such thing as "an earthquake." They are a series. After days or weeks go by, geologists pick the biggest one, call that the "quake." They pick anything before or after it, and call it a foreshock, or aftershock. Your home may survive a 6.2, but later that night, an 7.4 could be coming.
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking Indeed, I have a printed sheet showing the "Loma Prieta" aftershocks during the 24 hours following. Most of our aftershocks were similar to a heavy semi-truck rumbling by on the road.
@@alexmendoza3774 If your house is able to survive undamaged through the initial major tremor it will not "crumble down and kill u". If your house crumbles you cannot "always go back inside after the quake is over."
great video! i love how you captured some intense moments. but honestly, i wonder if the fascination with these disasters can sometimes overshadow the real human suffering they cause. it's a fine line between awareness and sensationalism, don't you think?
We had a small earthquake at 04:13 on December 17 here on Southern Vancouver Island. 3.8 My super diligent, sensitive & professional guard dog slept right through it. 🙄😋
. . . and the opportunists, bureaucrats and politicians start licking their chops AGAIN while abusing those in need and mocking those of us how send whatever we can including ourselves to try to help.
Look at what the Clinton foundation did after the earthquake. They took in billions and built 6 houses. Ask the people of Haiti about the aid that they never got.
@@BatMan-xr8gg that is why I never donate to the Red Cross. The ceo makes over $600 k a year plus travel expenses. The Clinton foundation took in over $13 billon for Haiti and sent emergency trailers down there with un50, formaldehyde, laced in them. Maybe speak to Bernard Sansaricq of the Haitian senate about where all the money went. Next contact the New York Times about what they found out about the clintons. Stop drinking the kool aid because you don’t have the facts right.
running outside is the last thing you want to do. the best things is to get under a sturdy desk or table. 80% of all deaths from earthquakes comes from people outside and falling debris.
We had family friends who lived in Fairbanks, Alaska when the 9.2 quake hit in 1964. Their son, who, like me was a teenager, told me that right across the street from their house was the field on which he played softball. As he and his mom ran out of their house, he saw the field; it was standing straight up, and he was staring directly at the ground of the field. We lived in Marin County at that time, which is in S.F. Bay Area, and a woman I babysat for lost her mother and brother in that earthquake; but, it was in the coastal town of Crescent City, CA, which was hit with a tsunami after that quake struck Alaska. They both drowned. It was a terrifyingly powerful quake. We have lived in Northern California for over 60 years, and the worst quake we’ve felt was the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which was only 6.9, so I can only begin to imagine what that 9.2 earthquake must have felt like!
Back in the mid-60s when I was growing up on Okinawa, I was out in the yard playing tetherball and watched the ground rolling like ocean waves because of an earthquake.
I’m from Alaska born and raised. I reside here. Amazingly we suffered no loss of life but we sustained plenty of damage that to this day is still being repaired. We lost roads which were not able to be traveled from two major cities. Children lost their schools and had to be combined with other schools for over a year or more. Power loss in November is not just an inconvenience here it can be deadly for some. So your information on how much sustained damage is false.
I live in Chile, I was 30 years old for the 8.8 degree earthquake in Chile, on the 12th floor of a building, never before have I felt so close to dying as at that moment. it was the most terrifying thing i have ever experienced, thank god the buildings are all earthquake proof... but it was the scare of my life
I was in the Philippines at Angels City S&M mall's bowling alley. The bowling alley is on the 2nd floor. It is normally a 30 min drive from our home to the mall. It took a bit longer to get home. Lights were out and even with lights the driving here can get interesting/exciting as some people with no learning are driving as they feel is correct. The mall had big crackes in the walls. We had cosmetic cracks as noted by the architect that drew up and built our house.
In the UK we get very small earthquakes, around magnitude 3. I experienced one that sound like a large lorry rumbling passed, but you could tell it was coming from below. The other one I experienced shook a tall building I was in and the lights went out. Someone in the office I was working in at the time, knew it was an earthquake. I would hate to be in any place, where they are as powerful as these ones. Best wishes and regards to the people in Haiti, who have just had another bad earthquake.
In South Africa we get........nothing. Years ago a nearby factory producing explosives for the mines exploded causing a bit of a shake, does that count?
Luckily I've never experienced any earthquakes or tornadoes or anything bad. Not even flooding. I'm also from the UK and I think we are rather lucky on this little island
@@jhoxihum3230 As a teenager on a school outing to a London theatre, the IRA put a bomb in an Oxford Street burger restaurant, and it went off as a bomb disposal officer was trying to defuse it.

@@julianaylor4351 Forgive me if I mess this up Ms. Naylor....I take it you are in your 60's give or take If your late mother recalls the bombings during WW2. My mother was born 1941 in Bristol....what a generation!

The wave is energy. There are energy particles from the sun that pass through us and the Earth itself, slowed by nothing. Energy waves from an earthquake are no different than the wave of energy that carries water or moves through air. It seems strange because we think of everything as solid, liquid or gas, but energy is its own monster.
My time in the Marines, I remember earthquakes when I was in California and Japan in the late 80’s. A couple typhoons as well as when I was in Okinawa.
I moved to CA from the east coast, and my first earthquake was the Northridge quake in 1994. It was 4:30 am, and I opened my eyes to see all my clothes swinging around in my closet. I was so rattled (no pun intended), I couldn't go to sleep for a month without taking a sleeping pill. To this day, I always have my closet doors shut. I'd rather endure a hurricane any day.
Don’t know if I would call a hurricane the better to take. The only thing that makes this a less horrific situation is that you have the ability to get away from it. Devastation can’t be compared as there is such a wide variation between the strengths of both earthquakes and hurricanes. And as earthquakes can be such a surprise - I don’t like surprises that much.
I was in the November 30th 2018 Alaska earthquake and the main 7.0 was not the worst part it was the after shock. The reason why is because after a big earthquake mean a lot of aftershocks and they came frequent and big. I remember one time I was on the stairs and then a 5.0 earthquake and we ran outside. However if you are in a earthquake get in the middle of a door frame because it’s the fastest and one of the safest places to go.
Back in the 80's I was working nightshift when a small earthquake hit the area. My boss came over to my station and asked me if I felt it. My response was, "darn, my first earthquake and I slept through it". 😁
There was a small earthquake at my state as well, although the strongest point should be in Kota Kinabalu (along where I actually lived), I was staying at my cousin's home back then
Since I live in Southern California...earthquakes are very common here but it has been awhile since we've gotten a big quake in the LA area. Im surprised you chose the famous 1906 San Fran quake and not the 1989 san Fran quake which had loads of camera footage including it happening during the world series
Not in LA proper maybe but you had big quakes in 1992 (Landers and Big Bear on the same day), 2002 at Hector Mine and most recently a M6.4 followed the next day by a M7.1 In Ridgecrest in 2019. Those quakes incidentally indicate the plate boundary may be moving east from the San Andreas fault to a new fault system across the Mojave Desert north to the Owens Valley Fault and what is being called the "Walker Lane".
In Melbourne a few months ago, we had a 5.9 magnitude earthquake. No one expected it because we very rarely get earthquakes. I'm pretty sure it happened at about 10am because i was sleeping and I woke up to hear creaking from the balcony we converted a room. When it's windy or hot outside it makes tapping noises which is normal. This time, the noises were a lot more frequent and louder. I thought it was the wind. Again, I was barely awake. A few seconds after I woke up, I realized my bed was shaking. I looked outside thinking there was a cyclone (again i was half asleep) and barely registered that the leaves weren't moving therefore there wasn't any wind. Then I realized the whole HOUSE was shaking, by this time i thought there was definitely a cyclone and the house was falling down. So I did the first thing my brain could think of, with absolutely no past experiences of living during an earthquake, I jumped out of bed and booked it downstairs. Luckily, the quake was over in around 15 seconds, from the time i woke up to the time i remember the shakes stopping, but I don't know if it was shaking before I woke up. Yeah. fun, just remember to run during an earthquake.
At least duck down in the table, I didn't know Australia have earthquakes! (I mean that must've been the first time, in my place, some states have occasionally earthquakes a lot, at it explains why East Malaysia is close to Ring of fire in the first place)
I have experience 1 i a experience earthquake on 2022 UAE (6.1 or less) that broke almost all our walls, i was asleep. I felt it and woke and hug my mom and dad, the earthquake last 30 secs-1 min. Things were falling and our walls almost fell. 0 (or 1-2) lost their lifes, 0 went missing and 3-5 people were injured. I hope everyone stays safe!
I remember all the footage in and out of Ridgecrest, CA when that 7.0 hit on Independence day of 2019. Nana thought that her cat jumped on her chair. I also remember the satellite pictures of 176 going to Trona had been shifted quite a bit. My mother was in San Francisco working, fresh out of college, when Loma Prieta hit in 1989. She said she could feel the building swiveling, because apparently the buildings were built on earthquake safe swivels. She also mentioned she never knew how bad the damage was until she saw the news when she visited dad at Cal Poly while he was still in school.
Your reference to the Loma Prieta quake certainly brings back memories! A large portion of the Bay Area was jumping all over the place while my friend was down at the corner in Mill Valley filling gas cans for his car, for the weekend races at Sears Point Raceway. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon that didn't stand out from the rest of the month prior to that day. When he arrived home, about half a mile up the road, the phone was ringing. He picked it up to hear his wife frantically telling him, "I'm alright, honey!!" She was at work, on the 17th floor of a high-rise in the City. He wondered what she was talking about; he hadn't seen or heard anything yet. Then she told him that a section of the Bay Bridge had collapsed and the double-layer MacArthur Freeway had also come down. He had a hard time believing what had just happened... then he went to work for about three months straight with no breaks. He and his partner owned a commercial plumbing business in San Francisco. The area that occupied them most was the Marina District, a district of several hundred residences. When it was built, it was build on fill dirt in an area at the edge of the SF Bay. When the shaking started, the whole area shook like a bowl full of jello. Most of the area either went sideways or just collapsed into the ground. They had to prioritize the jobs as to which ones effected the most people. They went to the top of the list. That was just one section of the Bay Area. Most of the region was effected in one way or another. If buildings in your area weren't damaged, the changes in traffic flow were immense. The Bay Bridge was closed for about four years, for repairs, causing about 250,000 vehicles to be re-routed daily.
@@MrGaryGG48 Oh wow :O Mom had to get through checkpoints to check on her parents and brother in Los Gatos, and power was down for a couple days (3 i think?) I remember when she showed me a video of the collapsed Bay Bridge and a car just drove off of it. I remember I went down to Ridgecrest not long after the 7.0 to check on Nana, to assess any damages to her house, and relay dad's instructions on turning off the gas. Some parts of the road were forced up and cracked, some stone walls fell, a couple mobile homes were badly damaged. I think the base was closed for repairs too. It was amazing that everyone was alive and unharmed. Loma Prieta though...
There exists dramatic footage of a monster earthquake in South America, probably Chile. It must have been in thec1960s. I was a young kid then and remember seeing it on TV severaltimes. The footage showed a green, agricultural valley in which the earth moved from the other end like a wave in sea water, in a big a sinus wave towards the camera.
Yes! That was here in Chile on may 1960, I wasn't even born yet but my family talks about it. It was a 9.6 and it lasted more than 10 minutes. Apparently it's the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. Thank you for remembering and mentioning this :)
You are talking about the Great Chile Earthquake, 22nd May 1960 at 19:11 GMT (15:11 local time). It remains - thankfully, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded on scientific instruments at 9.5 Mw, lasting for about 10 minutes and attained an intensity of XII (note the Roman numerals!), on the Modified Mercalli Scale, caused vast areas of coast to suddenly uplift, others to be submerged, massive landslides, cut roads, blocked valleys, triggered a trans-Pacific tsunami with a height estimated at about 25 metres, caused a volcano to erupt and killed an estimated 1650 people, left about 2 million without homes, etc; damage was estimated at about 500 million US dollars. It set the Earth 'ringing like a bell' for several days, caused the Earth's axis to be affected. It was a major part in proving the theory of Alfred Wegener - was albeit modified, correct and helped geologists understand Plate Tectonics. The Focus was at 38° 14' 24" S, 73° 03' 00" W at 33 kilometres deep. I remember it well, as it was one of the reasons I became a geologist.

@@Richard-zc1cj Yeah, if an earthquake happens in my area, I have almost nowhere to cover, which sucks a lot
@Danger Bear, bad bear, bad bear what you going to do when the earthquake comes for you?
Ok
It’s not all about the magnitude. It’s also how long it lasts, and how deep underground the quake is.
Also in which angle the waves are reaching th surface ..Are they absolute vertical or maybe in 45 degrees angle. The angle depends on how deep the quake is and how far away the epicenter.
Don't forget "Rolling" quakes as compared to "Drop" quakes.
That's what I tell my girlfriend
Well unless your talking about that one earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5 then nothing else matters not even time 9.5 is basicly able to level concrete support buildings from what ive seen.
Yes indeed. I live in Christchurch New Zealand and we had two major events Sept 2010 @ 7.1 and Feb 2011 @ 6.3, which was shallow and deadly, killing 185 people and wrecking the CBD. There were over 25 earthquakes greater then 5.0 and over 30,000 aftershocks . We still get quakes and I have become a bit of a nervous wreck. A specialist from San Francisco said he had never seen anything like it. Great swathes of the city have been turned into wasteland, unable to be rebuilt on. We call it the Red Zone
The one that hit Japan in 2011 was also incredibly devastating. Was surprised to not find it in this list.
the epicenter was deep into the ocean so the destruction was due to the ensuing tsunami mostly.
@@sisibilio But there were plenty of "cameras" that "caught that powerful quake..." No reason to not include it.
And why nz ain't on here
You would think the one that happened on Boxing day 2004. Only killed around 220000 or the 2010 Haiti one that killed over 300000 people

I’ve been in 3 major (7.0 or larger) earthquakes. Needless to say it is an experience you never forget. I was on Alaska during the earthquake in this video, and my vehicle was thrown from the road I was driving on by the shaking. I was also in Alaska in 2003 when there was an 8.2 that pretty much rocked the entire state. Fortunately it was centered in a very remote (even for Alaska) location. The third was in California in the 90’s.
My grandparents and father and aunt were living in AK during the Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964. I managed to skate by with the strongest I felt being in the neighborhood of a 7 in the 10 years I was living there. We missed the 2018 quake by 2 months. I saw it on the news and was...honestly, kinda surprised. One of the pictures showed the offramp I would take to get to work had broken in half (the one off Intl Airport Rd).
It’s not shaking tho.. it’s literally waves in the earth mane
I remember the one in 2003. Was in 8th grade at Clark, sitting in my math class.
Ive experienced 3 since ive been a child
All in va
All really small compared.to what u were in
I was in a friends car at library . The last one ' the rear end of the car jumped up n down
Not the front
She came running out leaving her printouts saying it was a quake....
But before she said anything i told her her car was demon possessed because the rear of car was all i felt anything at all.
But it wasnt funny.... once in Bedford co at my sisters house. I was her careguver and was in her bedroom playing a game on puter....
The clost door was rattling
My dog was all upset.
I yelled and told something wieerd was going on
She was so kool
Said oh it just an earthquake
I had this stupid picture that i couldnt get to stay straight on the wall
Dont you know it never was crooked after that quake Personalized
The wall
Dont you know.after that quake.ot never was crooked again
Was so funny
What wasnt funny was we both
Lived up in that mountain close to each other. We could have slid right on down into the creek
These are bad earthquakes but I lived through the 1964 Good Friday earthquake in Alaska. A 9 plus that shook for a little over 5 minutes. Terrifying doesn't even describe it.
I've seen photos of that. That's some of the worst I've seen. I'm glad you made it through it.
FIVE MINUTES?!??? I can't even imagine. The 1989 Loma Prieta quake felt like it lasted under a minute, though for part of it I was pretty incapacitated because the wind had been knocked out of me and the world was kind of whirling around me. Basically, the earthquake picked me up off the curb and threw me several feet into the street, where I landed on my hands and knees. I thought someone had come up behind me and shoved me.
It destroyed a 5 story steel girder framed JCPenney store that lasted for 3 minutes before it crumpled, and went on for 2 more minutes, streets subsided 20 feet, life magazine had a special issue on it.
@@GraniteRoll My family was in the Penny's store the day before the earthquake. Come to find out my sister's x was also in the store the same day.crazy small world
Mom said that women all over the lower 48 were thrown into early labor. Perhaps something to do with barometric pressure? She was very close to her due date so she was fine, but the census data on births will show a marked spike.
"They were visibly shaken."
I see what you did there.
the few that could sleep through it were not stirred...
It appears the car alarm went off as a result of the earthquake!
In an earlier part of the video, it seems the narrator was trying to avoid saying which "fault was at fault"!
Some quakes are on a scale of their own.
lol 😆 🤣 😂 💯
I was a bit shaken up after that dark joke
Barefoot in the snow after getting his kid safe. You rock Pops!

Both parents have an emergency evacuation plan in place ahead of a disaster. Thanks mom/wifey for not making us worry.
We have earthquake drills in school all the time in school up here in Ak and they always tell you to not run outside but get under something sturdy or stand in a doorway 🙄
@@mizzshortie907 that still depends. If you're on a tall building and very old one, the protocol would be to go outside immediately. For the dad that went outside, that's okay since it's much safer and not many buildinga are not around to hit them in anyway.
YOU JUST DO IT SIMPLE AS
Him:“It did some serious damage.”
Ad:”FLEX-TAPE!”
Best voiceover I've heard in some time. Very professional.
I live in Alaska and was in school when the 7.1 hit a few years ago. I looked down the hall and saw the floors rolling. It's common to have earthquakes but still Hella scary.
I had the flu and was home in bed when it hit.
I actually felt it as far north as Fairbanks. Was really crazy to experience. I was actually supposed to head to Anchorage that day, but they turned everyone around due to concerns about the roads.
Same! I was far from Anchorage at the time yet we still had cupboards dumping out school books and things falling. It felt crazy we still had school for the rest of the day, even feeling the aftershocks throughout the day… it’ll be a day I definitely remember for a long time
I was in my house I think I was late to school lol apparently it was really bad there
I was on a school marksmanship competition trip. Arrived in Fairbanks the day before (from Palmer). When I was ready to leave my hotel room I felt the quake and immediately thought, Anchorage is being hit hard. Sure enough, when I got on Snapchat my friend working at the Wasilla Walmart posted the aftermath of what was spilled in the aisles. We thought we would have to fly back instead of taking our bus. I believe I remember watching the news, while eating a continental breakfast the same morning, and George H.W. Bush passed.
I visited San Francisco a couple years ago and I was truly shocked by the amount of houses built on the edges of cliffs and incredibly steep hills. They look precarious to begin with, I can't imagine how any of them would hold up in a significant earthquake. I'm also _sure_ that a lot of these massive cliffside properties are wildly expensive. It makes no sense to me
If New Madrid Fault ever Wakes up, god help the U.S.
I agree it would be a bad day for them rich people 😹
The saying "More money than sense" springs to mind with overly rich people trying to outdo their neighbours for snob points or "scenic views" that's until their cliffside mansion gets a first hand view of the rocks below the cliffs....
Playing with fire!
@@gonwyte8534 I grew up near that one, was surprised it wasn't mentioned at least, but no footsge of course, the last major event was before cameras.
I'm told the difference in energy between a 7, and an 8, earthquake is thirty times. I endured a seven in New Zealand 1968. That was enormous. Something about ten time worse is frightening.
32 times the energy, yes. The Kobe quake of 97 for example was slightly under 7 magnitude. The Tohoku quake of 2011 was a 9.1 magnitude. More than 1000 times the energy. The latter shifted the earth's axis and slowed it's rotation very slightly, but measurably.
@@AlexVardr I did not know that about the rotation. Is there someplace I can find that info? I would love to read it. Thank you for the information it is a good day as I learned something new!
The scale is logarithmic, each number is 1000 times more powerful than the previous. 8 is 1000 times what you endured.
@@Simo2009BORO Guys, it's on WikiPedia, no need to spread guesstimates...
The shaking amplitude is logarithmic indeed, only that it's not base 1000 but base 10. Multiplies by 10 for every 1.0 increase in the magnitude.
"The energy release of an earthquake, which closely correlates to its destructive power, scales with the 3⁄2 power of the shaking amplitude. Thus, a difference in magnitude of 1.0 is equivalent to a factor of 31.6 in the energy released; a difference in magnitude of 2.0 is equivalent to a factor of 1000 in the energy released. The elastic energy radiated is best derived from an integration of the radiated spectrum, but an estimate can be based on mb because most energy is carried by the high frequency waves." (source: WikiPedia)
I remember my first Earthquake in New Zealand. I was living in Palmerston North. The iron fence shook so hard, it sounded like a train coming past. They had just had a bad one in Edgecombe everyone was talking about. There was on in Hawkes Bay when I was living there and shook the ground enough to nearly empty our fiberglass, inground pool. We had to quickly refill it before they tide came in, or it would have lifted out of the ground. There has only been one here in mid-Norway since I lived here. It was small but it gave them quite a fright because the area is all built on marine clay , so quakes mean epic landslides.
Excellent video well done
I have never experienced a large Earthquake. I visited Iceland in 2007, and as part of the trip with my school we visited a museum about Iceland. They had an earthquake generator which was a small platform that generated a 6.5 earthquake. We were told by our guide to hit the button on the screen and turn to face away from the screen so we wouldn't know when the "earthquake" would strike. After about ten seconds of standing, we felt it. It was seriously freaky. I couldn't imagine how that would feel if you didn't know it was coming.
I live in Iceland and experience earthquakes daily (nothing major), because of magma intrusions 4-5 km away from my home. Last year right before geldingadalur erupted, we also experienced earthquakes on a daily basis for a whole month (highest one was 5.8)
Ive personally experienced two 6.4 earthquakes a 7.2 and a 7.4. It is terrifying. In the latest my best friend fell and broke his hip during the quake. 911 was down and the local hospital wasn't accepting emergency patients because of damage from an earthquake the day before. He was taken by ambulance to a nearby trauma center and during the drive through a canyon there was an aftershock which triggered a rock slide blocking the road.
I'm always amazed how you never consider the earthquakes of New Zealand
Yeah. I was kinda sad that they didn't show the footage from them
Right? When he showed number 3, I was like, "Really?" Where are those from: (for example) Chile, New Zealand, Mexico, and above all: Japan 2011, which caused a great tsunami and the explosion of a nuclear power plant making the tragedy even greater. :(
@@jennygonzalez5887 He can't include every earthquake that has ever happened...
Natural disasters are so interesting. I can only imagine how much more activity went on millions of years ago. Would be awesome to see
i suspect there was far less impact... *thinks of Atlantis* never mind. i was going to say because buildings were not likely so densely packed but poor building practices (rocks stacked on each other to make walls) might take more damage from far less shaking. might account for at least a few ruined cities.
Not interesting my friend, say scary which you can't imagine
Millions of years ago 🤣😂 are you serious.
@@hilarioushen4164 yeah, what’s the problem?
@@hilarioushen4164 ?
Having experienced a few 7-magnitude quakes, the memory stays vivid. During the second one, I was in high school, waiting in the lunch line. The ground felt like it was being jumped on, and as we searched for the source, the aftershocks followed. We rushed under tables. It was also when we realized our school's incompetence despite being in an earthquake-prone region. Students jumped fences to go home as we were left outside for hours, cold and wet, without food or water
I lived in Anchorage AK in ‘64 during the Good Friday earthquake. 9.2 on the RS and 131 deaths including one of my schoolmates. I will never forget that.
One of the few places that are ripe for Earthquakes of devastating size.. is right along the Mississippi River. (The fault exists because at some point the North American Plate almost split in half, and massive faults were created along the area in middle of country) Back in 1811-1812.. a series of Earthquakes at around 8.0 scale, rocked the fault there. The devastation included massive land drops (land fell over 10 feet in certain areas) Sand geysers darkened the sky as sand was forced up from pressure. River moved, its course changing and even flowed backwards for a short period. The shaking caused church bells to ring hundreds of miles from its area. Accounts from the time, are apocalyptic because survivors truly thought the end times had come.
Yes indeed. You can still see where the sand geysers erupted when the ground is bare and has been plowed. You can see the white places in the dark soil being made by the erupted sand.
Madri drift...or earthquake.
Philadelphia church bells rang IIRC.
It's called the New Madrid quake zone IF I remember correctly. I've read about that. I cannot imagine the Mississippi running backwards.
@@graceamerican3558 Yeah, the letters and diaries we have at the time, spoke of it as the end of times. They truly thought it was the end of life.
Nepal Quake enough to make anyone seasick. Feeling I got from Christchurch Earthquakes
I remember being on a laptop/PC when the second one happened
My parents lived next to a riverbed when a quake hit. I literally SAW the WAVE of the ground headed toward me. It was radical, but what I remember most is SEEING this WAVE. The Earth isnt supposed to wave like water!
You have to add the Turkey Earthquake, An absolute tragedy.
I lived an 8.8 earthquake, at least the people on those videos could run and hide somewhere, I couldn't even stand on my two feet. All I did was sit in my bed and wait till it stopped.
Christchurch Earthquake: "Am I a joke to you?"
Excellent narrative voice! Well edited, and informative. 👍👍✌️
I guess you guys have heard about earthquake occurred in Nepal which tooks thousand of people's life. At that time I was sick and taking rest , my sister and grandma were having lunch and suddenly, house was started to shaking hardly my grandma started to shouting and we all ran out of the house to safe place . When we were out what we saw was unbelievable, house were demolishing , lands were cracking, people were crying and shouting for help. Including my house every house in the village were fully destroyed .It took my friend sister and her child she was with her 2 child they were only 2 years old she tried to save them but failed .Even today time to time it occurs and make my heart pumps again.
After the Quake in San Francisco in 1906....still looks nicer than it does today.
I remember the 2018 Alaska earthquake. I was in class at the time, first period in the morning, and although I lived quite far from Anchorage and the epicenter, we still had cupboards open and dump out school books and we all got under the desks… I felt very bad for a few classmates who were terribly frightened. We dealt with aftershocks the rest of the school day, desperately hoping things didn’t get any worse. Alaska is always prepared for quakes like that though; we require most of our buildings to be earthquake resistant (or at least built to fall apart with more debris falling outward instead of in onto people), which is why we don’t see as much damage even with the bigger quakes. Though, just because our buildings are tougher than most of the country’s… that doesn’t make the shaking any less scary in the moment. That one is etched in my memory for sure.
My POV of that quake was kinda the same, but much stronger, very scary, and basically did nothing. I was in my orchestra class and heard my teacher, in a shrill shriek, tell everyone to get down. It was basically hell in a handbasket in terms of safety. I had basically 0 cover. Literally had flimsy metal chairs that were starting to rust at the hinges and a big open celing 15-18 feet above my head. After the shaking stopped, i got the "All Clear" message from my principal, who has since retired, and basically made everyone drop their guard. That's when the first aftershock hit. Absolutely hated it
Edit: I was 7 or so miles from the epicenter.
I was in my home town when that earthquake struck in Nepal. It went for about more than 1 minute 30 seconds. Many people lost their life, many people went missing. There are various video’s online about that earthquake. For days, earthquake kept struck. It was one of the horrifying moment ever in my entire life.
I’m from Alaska and I remember that earthquake, really tore my house up! The entire city was out of power for a few days
Yes it was terrifying , I was in in school and I couldn’t contact my family
@@heyy_5123 Oh, poor thing! That would be scary.
I live 380 air miles west of Anchorage, Alaska and was 3-4 yes old, I remember we felt tremors from that quake. Can't imagine what it must have felt like to be shook up in Anchorage. Crazy scary.
@@carebearann4613 it honestly felt like the ground liquified and started waving , but it was SO loud and people were screaming
We felt it in Fairbanks
Amazing footage
I'm speechless! This video captures the terror and beauty of natural disasters in a way I've never seen before.
My understanding is that we’re still having aftershocks from the 2018 earthquake in 2022. I live across the inlet from the epicenter and my understanding is that the frequency of quakes along that section of the fault line hasn’t quite died down to “normal” yet. Riding out the aftershocks was definitely tense - several people I know still have severe drama/PTSD responses to quakes even 3 years later. I did love the memes that came out of it, though!
You gotta be incredibly soft to get PTSD from an earthquake. I'm sorry but that like getting barked at by a big dog.
@OldManMuskrat trauma is trauma. You shouldn't judge someone for how they've reacted to a situation that has killed probably millions of people throughout history.
Having been through a couple of 7.somthing quakes, you don't forget. I was in high school in the lunch line with the second one hit. It felt like someone was jumping on the ground and were looking around for the source of the feeling, the the secondary waves hit and we all flooded to get under the tables. That was also the day we all discovered how utterly incompetent our school was, even though we live an earthquake prone area. Students were literally jumping the fences and going home as were put outside for hours in the cold and wet with no food or water.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. You will get hit by falling bricks or trees or electrical wires. Safest place is in your home (designed to stay standing in a quake)

In Alaska we've grown use to the light tremors. I was sitting on my couch when the earthquake hit us in 2018. Amazingly no one was injured.
2015 April, regular Saturday, was chilling n playing FIFA, mum n lil sis was in kitchen n suddenly it starts shaking . Both came panicking to me n since we had to go pass small alley type route n some old house to reach nearby open space I though its better we stay at home(below door beam) . was hugging both n trying to make them calm until one of my neighbour's house fall down partially right in front of our eyes.. Was horrifying n took a while to come out of that almost 15-20 seconds of trauma n its dozens of aftershocks ..may those departed souls rest in peace n god make their family strong !!!!

I live in Alaska and my house is only a few miles from the epicenter of the November 2018 quake. Luckily the houses here are built to earthquake specifications and, like the people in the video, we had no structural damage and only a little broken glass from dishes that fell from higher cabinets when the doors swung open. I was on the couch with my dog on one side and a cat on the other and a table in front of me. There wasn't a chance to move very fast so I just leaned over the cat to protect her from flying debris and we sat it out. It was insane and quite exciting. The aftershocks were incredible. I believe that Alaskans set world records showering so they wouldn't be caught naked and wet for the next aftershock LOL

I was three stories up in a barracks building during the Alaskan quake. That was truly terrifying and humbling at the same time.
This makes me glad that where i live on the east coast doesnt see much disaster. We usually get the 1st aftermaths of hurricanes that hit the south and even then it only threatens slight flooding and tornado warnings, which have only happened twice, and have never actually touched ground.
I'm so glad to that camera quality has vastly improved since 1906.
Hit me up, let's talk this private.
For me praying in a daily basis is a must .i like this blog very informative thanks
We got back to back 2 strong earthquake that month in Nepal...
I had the flu and was extremely sick during the 2018 earthquake. I had to have my aunt and uncle help me get out of my room cus I could barely stand. It was scary and we were without power for 15 hours. Luckily we only lost a few trinkets and the family that was on the highway when it collapsed were unharmed.
Where was that?
@@Seroxm13 Anchorage Alaska
I've been in 2 major quakes while I lived in California, 1971 Sylmar Quake and 1989 Loma Prieta, I lived a few miles from the epicenter in 1971, and about an hour from the epicenter of the 1989 quake. Been in smaller ones since, they don't even faze me anymore. Now I live with Hurricanes and Floods on the East Coast, life is never dull and I have full respect for Nature.
Lol😂😂
facing all of the natures full of your life😂😂 I just want to laugh 😂
⁉️ But according to the media and 1 particular political party, there are MUCH worse tragedies occuring almost on a monthly basis nowadays! For instance, black Nascar driver Bubba Wallace found a knot at the end of a rope that formed a loop, which "some say" was actually just a harmless rope-pull used to close the large, heavy overhead garage doors......
But Bubba Wallace and the entire "news" media know better! According to them, it was a noose! Nevermind the fact there's one on every garage door at that track, and they've been there since before Bubba Wallace even started racing there. What matters is that Bubba Wallace and the entire media "claim" it was targeted towards Bubba Wallace as a sign of racism!
👉 It's just like all the other hate hoaxes promoted by the media, they may all be hoaxes, but we progressive activists "choose" to believe they are real hate symbols, each worse than ANY earthquake! Any day now, we're hoping the celebrated Biden regime will pass laws banning ropes and knots! 🤡
Me too i was in Pacoima and downtown Santa Cruz. Slept thru Sylmar but L.P. was a wild ride.

No exaggerated narration. Good video
We were a couple of km's away from the Clark airport when the earthquake hit. We were sitting in the Clark SM mall when the quake hit. We immediately went under the table as the entire place violently, and I mean VIOLENTLY started quaking back and forth. We heard loud crashes and broken glass then about 45 seconds later it subsided. I gathered up my son and wife and we ran out of the building and walked all around the mall away from the structure back to our car.
We saw some damaged concrete walls and a few downed poles on our way home. When we got to our house I noticed a big crack in our carport area but no structural damage to our house.
Our one-year-old Lab was shaken and we had foodstuffs all over the floor.
This was as a close to death via a natural disaster I have ever come and it literally scared the Schitt out of me.
I'm from California and I have been through plenty of earthquakes, And when I join the USAF, I was sent to Alaska and again, More earthquakes . My luck. Good video.
Thanks for your service, brother.
I went from tornadoes in TX to earthquakes weekly at NAF Atsugi in Japan. Now live along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. When she slips, I dip. Stay safe out there!
Im from syria..
My house jump like this 5 days ago
In turkey earhquake ( 7.8 )
It was horrible
I can't sleep and i'm so scary
After 5 days..
During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California many of our neighbors left their homes to gather together somewhere else. We slept in our own beds in our own home because it was the safest, most secure place to be. When your home is built strongly enough it's often the best place. Our supply of water, food, clothes, medicine, generator, flashlights, batteries is at home. Why leave?
Just incase it does crumble down and kill u ? Lmao, u can always go back inside after the quakes over
@@alexmendoza3774 the earth opening up while you outside...
Not being a jerk - the reason it's safer outside...is right after the quake - you don't know something incredibly important.
What you experienced - could have merely been a foreshock. A precursor to the "big one." There's no such thing as "an earthquake." They are a series. After days or weeks go by, geologists pick the biggest one, call that the "quake." They pick anything before or after it, and call it a foreshock, or aftershock. Your home may survive a 6.2, but later that night, an 7.4 could be coming.
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking Indeed, I have a printed sheet showing the "Loma Prieta" aftershocks during the 24 hours following. Most of our aftershocks were similar to a heavy semi-truck rumbling by on the road.
@@alexmendoza3774 If your house is able to survive undamaged through the initial major tremor it will not "crumble down and kill u". If your house crumbles you cannot "always go back inside after the quake is over."
great video! i love how you captured some intense moments. but honestly, i wonder if the fascination with these disasters can sometimes overshadow the real human suffering they cause. it's a fine line between awareness and sensationalism, don't you think?
Very interesting 💕👵
We had a small earthquake at 04:13 on December 17 here on Southern Vancouver Island.
3.8
My super diligent, sensitive & professional guard dog slept right through it. 🙄😋
I feel bad for the people in Haiti. They got over the last one, just to get hit by another earthquake stronger than the previous one.
. . . and the opportunists, bureaucrats and politicians start licking their chops AGAIN while abusing those in need and mocking those of us how send whatever we can including ourselves to try to help.
Look at what the Clinton foundation did after the earthquake. They took in billions and built 6 houses. Ask the people of Haiti about the aid that they never got.
@@kevintate768 That was the Red Cross, not the Clinton Foundation. Get your facts right.
@@BatMan-xr8gg Get your facts right FOOL !
@@BatMan-xr8gg that is why I never donate to the Red Cross. The ceo makes over $600 k a year plus travel expenses. The Clinton foundation took in over $13 billon for Haiti and sent emergency trailers down there with un50, formaldehyde, laced in them. Maybe speak to Bernard Sansaricq of the Haitian senate about where all the money went. Next contact the New York Times about what they found out about the clintons. Stop drinking the kool aid because you don’t have the facts right.
I experienced the M7.1 in Anchorage.
My wife and I were at one of the Hospitals, as we welcomed our youngest child the day prior.
running outside is the last thing you want to do. the best things is to get under a sturdy desk or table. 80% of all deaths from earthquakes comes from people outside and falling debris.
Less talk, more video !!
I was in the middle of the 1964 "Good Friday" Alaskan earthquake....also the three massive Tidal Waves on Kodiak Island.
I visited Christchurch, New Zealand about a year after the earthquake struck there. 110, if my memory serves, died in a single office building there.
A small correction; the epicenter of the 1906 San Francisco quake wasn't directly under the city. It was just offshore to the southwest of the city.
We had family friends who lived in Fairbanks, Alaska when the 9.2 quake hit in 1964. Their son, who, like me was a teenager, told me that right across the street from their house was the field on which he played softball. As he and his mom ran out of their house, he saw the field; it was standing straight up, and he was staring directly at the ground of the field. We lived in Marin County at that time, which is in S.F. Bay Area, and a woman I babysat for lost her mother and brother in that earthquake; but, it was in the coastal town of Crescent City, CA, which was hit with a tsunami after that quake struck Alaska. They both drowned. It was a terrifyingly powerful quake. We have lived in Northern California for over 60 years, and the worst quake we’ve felt was the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which was only 6.9, so I can only begin to imagine what that 9.2 earthquake must have felt like!
wow incredible thanks for posting
I love the background music for these videos. It sounds so much like Plague Inc.
Back in the mid-60s when I was growing up on Okinawa, I was out in the yard playing tetherball and watched the ground rolling like ocean waves because of an earthquake.
I was a reporter during the time of the Loma Preita quake in SF working in Central Calif. It was a very scary and crazy time.
I’m from Alaska born and raised. I reside here. Amazingly we suffered no loss of life but we sustained plenty of damage that to this day is still being repaired. We lost roads which were not able to be traveled from two major cities. Children lost their schools and had to be combined with other schools for over a year or more. Power loss in November is not just an inconvenience here it can be deadly for some. So your information on how much sustained damage is false.
"With so many faults in the area,it is impossible to determine which fault caused the earthquake."
Well,its the fault's fault.
I live in Chile, I was 30 years old for the 8.8 degree earthquake in Chile, on the 12th floor of a building, never before have I felt so close to dying as at that moment. it was the most terrifying thing i have ever experienced, thank god the buildings are all earthquake proof... but it was the scare of my life
I was in the Philippines at Angels City S&M mall's bowling alley. The bowling alley is on the 2nd floor.
It is normally a 30 min drive from our home to the mall. It took a bit longer to get home. Lights were out and even with lights the driving here can get interesting/exciting as some people with no learning are driving as they feel is correct.
The mall had big crackes in the walls. We had cosmetic cracks as noted by the architect that drew up and built our house.
"They were visibly shaken" Narrator
"I see what you did there" Me
I don't get it.....
@@LachlanKellett earthquake footage...earthquakes shake...they were visibly shaken...thats the pun...
In the UK we get very small earthquakes, around magnitude 3. I experienced one that sound like a large lorry rumbling passed, but you could tell it was coming from below. The other one I experienced shook a tall building I was in and the lights went out. Someone in the office I was working in at the time, knew it was an earthquake. I would hate to be in any place, where they are as powerful as these ones. Best wishes and regards to the people in Haiti, who have just had another bad earthquake.
In South Africa we get........nothing. Years ago a nearby factory producing explosives for the mines exploded causing a bit of a shake, does that count?
Luckily I've never experienced any earthquakes or tornadoes or anything bad. Not even flooding. I'm also from the UK and I think we are rather lucky on this little island
@@jhoxihum3230 As a teenager on a school outing to a London theatre, the IRA put a bomb in an Oxford Street burger restaurant, and it went off as a bomb disposal officer was trying to defuse it. The threatre shook and when I told my late mother about it, she said that bombings in the Second World War were like that.
@@julianaylor4351 Forgive me if I mess this up Ms. Naylor....I take it you are in your 60's give or take If your late mother recalls the bombings during WW2. My mother was born 1941 in Bristol....what a generation!
@@jhoxihum3230 My late mother was born in Birkenhead 1927, and got married in the fifties and I was born in 1961, my older brother in 1958 and my younger brother in 1968. Her family had moved to Leicester when WW2 broke out.
At primary school I had a headmistress who remembered the light given off by the dockland bombings, which could be seen in North London.
Crazy how something so solid as the ground moves like water during an earthquake
The wave is energy. There are energy particles from the sun that pass through us and the Earth itself, slowed by nothing. Energy waves from an earthquake are no different than the wave of energy that carries water or moves through air. It seems strange because we think of everything as solid, liquid or gas, but energy is its own monster.
You missed the perfect pun opportunity in the beginning of your video: "CCTV's all over the world record our every (cough) 'QUAKING' moment!"😀😃😀
My time in the Marines, I remember earthquakes when I was in California and Japan in the late 80’s. A couple typhoons as well as when I was in Okinawa.
Wait, why Okinawa? That place is nothing other than hell natural disasters there but still, I want to know
I moved to CA from the east coast, and my first earthquake was the Northridge quake in 1994. It was 4:30 am, and I opened my eyes to see all my clothes swinging around in my closet. I was so rattled (no pun intended), I couldn't go to sleep for a month without taking a sleeping pill. To this day, I always have my closet doors shut. I'd rather endure a hurricane any day.
Don’t know if I would call a hurricane the better to take. The only thing that makes this a less horrific situation is that you have the ability to get away from it. Devastation can’t be compared as there is such a wide variation between the strengths of both earthquakes and hurricanes. And as earthquakes can be such a surprise - I don’t like surprises that much.
Earthquakes and hurricanes are preferable to Philadelphia’s City Council.
I was in the November 30th 2018 Alaska earthquake and the main 7.0 was not the worst part it was the after shock. The reason why is because after a big earthquake mean a lot of aftershocks and they came frequent and big. I remember one time I was on the stairs and then a 5.0 earthquake and we ran outside. However if you are in a earthquake get in the middle of a door frame because it’s the fastest and one of the safest places to go.
That's crazy scary!
5:22 Flying a SINGLE engine airplane over that glacier is putting a lot trust that engine failure won't occur.
The one at the airport LMAO everyone scurries.. ..quick !
now's our chance to get past Airport security😂
Back in the 80's I was working nightshift when a small earthquake hit the area. My boss came over to my station and asked me if I felt it. My response was, "darn, my first earthquake and I slept through it". 😁
There was a small earthquake at my state as well, although the strongest point should be in Kota Kinabalu (along where I actually lived), I was staying at my cousin's home back then
Since I live in Southern California...earthquakes are very common here but it has been awhile since we've gotten a big quake in the LA area. Im surprised you chose the famous 1906 San Fran quake and not the 1989 san Fran quake which had loads of camera footage including it happening during the world series
@@venturesandvlogs Indeed, there quakes had lots of footage
Not in LA proper maybe but you had big quakes in 1992 (Landers and Big Bear on the same day), 2002 at Hector Mine and most recently a M6.4 followed the next day by a M7.1 In Ridgecrest in 2019. Those quakes incidentally indicate the plate boundary may be moving east from the San Andreas fault to a new fault system across the Mojave Desert north to the Owens Valley Fault and what is being called the "Walker Lane".
In Melbourne a few months ago, we had a 5.9 magnitude earthquake. No one expected it because we very rarely get earthquakes. I'm pretty sure it happened at about 10am because i was sleeping and I woke up to hear creaking from the balcony we converted a room. When it's windy or hot outside it makes tapping noises which is normal. This time, the noises were a lot more frequent and louder. I thought it was the wind. Again, I was barely awake. A few seconds after I woke up, I realized my bed was shaking. I looked outside thinking there was a cyclone (again i was half asleep) and barely registered that the leaves weren't moving therefore there wasn't any wind. Then I realized the whole HOUSE was shaking, by this time i thought there was definitely a cyclone and the house was falling down. So I did the first thing my brain could think of, with absolutely no past experiences of living during an earthquake, I jumped out of bed and booked it downstairs. Luckily, the quake was over in around 15 seconds, from the time i woke up to the time i remember the shakes stopping, but I don't know if it was shaking before I woke up. Yeah. fun, just remember to run during an earthquake.
At least duck down in the table, I didn't know Australia have earthquakes! (I mean that must've been the first time, in my place, some states have occasionally earthquakes a lot, at it explains why East Malaysia is close to Ring of fire in the first place)
Wait......so not only are there creatures everywhere there that will kill you but you have earthquakes too? Stay safe mate.
@@karlmonet nah this was the first earthquake that i've had in my life in australia and im 15 so
Not gonna lie, I actually love this guy's voice.
I have experience 1 i a experience earthquake on 2022 UAE (6.1 or less) that broke almost all our walls, i was asleep. I felt it and woke and hug my mom and dad, the earthquake last 30 secs-1 min. Things were falling and our walls almost fell. 0 (or 1-2) lost their lifes, 0 went missing and 3-5 people were injured. I hope everyone stays safe!
I remember all the footage in and out of Ridgecrest, CA when that 7.0 hit on Independence day of 2019. Nana thought that her cat jumped on her chair. I also remember the satellite pictures of 176 going to Trona had been shifted quite a bit.
My mother was in San Francisco working, fresh out of college, when Loma Prieta hit in 1989. She said she could feel the building swiveling, because apparently the buildings were built on earthquake safe swivels. She also mentioned she never knew how bad the damage was until she saw the news when she visited dad at Cal Poly while he was still in school.
Your reference to the Loma Prieta quake certainly brings back memories! A large portion of the Bay Area was jumping all over the place while my friend was down at the corner in Mill Valley filling gas cans for his car, for the weekend races at Sears Point Raceway. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon that didn't stand out from the rest of the month prior to that day.
When he arrived home, about half a mile up the road, the phone was ringing. He picked it up to hear his wife frantically telling him, "I'm alright, honey!!" She was at work, on the 17th floor of a high-rise in the City. He wondered what she was talking about; he hadn't seen or heard anything yet. Then she told him that a section of the Bay Bridge had collapsed and the double-layer MacArthur Freeway had also come down. He had a hard time believing what had just happened... then he went to work for about three months straight with no breaks.
He and his partner owned a commercial plumbing business in San Francisco. The area that occupied them most was the Marina District, a district of several hundred residences. When it was built, it was build on fill dirt in an area at the edge of the SF Bay. When the shaking started, the whole area shook like a bowl full of jello. Most of the area either went sideways or just collapsed into the ground. They had to prioritize the jobs as to which ones effected the most people. They went to the top of the list. That was just one section of the Bay Area. Most of the region was effected in one way or another. If buildings in your area weren't damaged, the changes in traffic flow were immense. The Bay Bridge was closed for about four years, for repairs, causing about 250,000 vehicles to be re-routed daily.
@@MrGaryGG48 Oh wow :O Mom had to get through checkpoints to check on her parents and brother in Los Gatos, and power was down for a couple days (3 i think?) I remember when she showed me a video of the collapsed Bay Bridge and a car just drove off of it.
I remember I went down to Ridgecrest not long after the 7.0 to check on Nana, to assess any damages to her house, and relay dad's instructions on turning off the gas. Some parts of the road were forced up and cracked, some stone walls fell, a couple mobile homes were badly damaged. I think the base was closed for repairs too. It was amazing that everyone was alive and unharmed. Loma Prieta though...
There exists dramatic footage of a monster earthquake in South America, probably Chile. It must have been in thec1960s. I was a young kid then and remember seeing it on TV severaltimes. The footage showed a green, agricultural valley in which the earth moved from the other end like a wave in sea water, in a big a sinus wave towards the camera.
Yes! That was here in Chile on may 1960, I wasn't even born yet but my family talks about it. It was a 9.6 and it lasted more than 10 minutes. Apparently it's the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. Thank you for remembering and mentioning this :)
You are talking about the Great Chile Earthquake, 22nd May 1960 at 19:11 GMT (15:11 local time). It remains - thankfully, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded on scientific instruments at 9.5 Mw, lasting for about 10 minutes and attained an intensity of XII (note the Roman numerals!), on the Modified Mercalli Scale, caused vast areas of coast to suddenly uplift, others to be submerged, massive landslides, cut roads, blocked valleys, triggered a trans-Pacific tsunami with a height estimated at about 25 metres, caused a volcano to erupt and killed an estimated 1650 people, left about 2 million without homes, etc; damage was estimated at about 500 million US dollars. It set the Earth 'ringing like a bell' for several days, caused the Earth's axis to be affected. It was a major part in proving the theory of Alfred Wegener - was albeit modified, correct and helped geologists understand Plate Tectonics. The Focus was at 38° 14' 24" S, 73° 03' 00" W at 33 kilometres deep.
I remember it well, as it was one of the reasons I became a geologist.
