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 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.

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.

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.

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 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

@@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."

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.

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!

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

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.

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 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 live in almost the direct middle of the North American plate, up in Canada, and even I can feel earthquakes sometimes. I can recall maybe two separate moments when there was a slight moving of the ground, where things outside were swaying even when there was no wind. I've never felt an earthquake head-on though, and if I can feel them as far as I live from the plate edges, I don't think I'd be keen on feeling one where the plates meet

I used to live in Illinois and felt a 4-pointer on the Wabash fault (secondary fault off New Madrid) about 120 miles away. Shook the bed I was sleeping on with my child in the middle of the night and woke us up. Central plate zones snap less often, but the last a long time and the effects can be felt over 1000 miles away. I'm about to move into the red zone of New Madrid, 1-2 hours east of Memphis. The real danger to people is that no one has prepared or trained them for what to do, what to have and how to survive while waiting for help which could theoretically be as long as two months to some areas if a major snap happens on New Madrid.

⁉️ 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! 🤡

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Don't bother trying to earthquake-proof anything...until you find out if your home is built on former wetland, sand, clay, landfill, or something else horrific. NOTHING withstands liquefaction. Your home may be 90% intact, and still SINK into the ground, like the Valencia Hotel....a wooden structure, 3 stories tall, which SANK into the ground in 1906 San Francisco. Greatest single-loss of life was in that building. (The 3rd floor, became the ground floor.) The structures next door? Fine. Why? They were built on dry soil. Valencia was built right over a former creek. Get a city/county map, as old as you can get, before the neighborhood was built. Is it a former wetland, swamp, or marsh beneath you? If so - MOVE! :)

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.

In Britain significant earthquakes seem to be something that happens in other countries. Except for one occasion. I had just awoken after I slept late and could have sworn my bed was moving. It was not my muddled senses immediately after waking, the bed was knocking slightly against a wardrobe. Then it stopped after only a few seconds. To say it was a WTF moment is putting it mildly. The centre of the quake was initially assessed as being somewhere under Wales, but the British geological Survey pinned it down to being around Bishop's Castle in Shropshire. It's power was judged as 5.1 on the Richter scale. This happened on the 2nd April 1990.

It’s scary to think that there could be an earthquake at any second.

I was stationed in Alaska for three years in the 1980s. I remember one time a quake hit during the work day. I was in my office, and as the building started shaking, I wondered if I was going to have to evacuate. I was in charge of a very important, top secret, operation, and abandoning my post was a court marshal offense. While I was waiting for orders, I saw the Battalion Commander running for the door. I thought, if the old man is getting the fuck out, so am I! I locked the doors and joined him outside. My building survived intact; only a few broken windows and some doors wouldn't close properly. I had artwork on the walls of my barracks room in the same building. Most of it fell off the wall and shattered the frames. We were lucky. One block of married housing collapsed completely. 20 families lost their stuff, but fortunately, NO ONE was badly hurt. A few cuts and scrapes, as I recall, and that was the worst of it. I don't remember what the order of magnitude was, but it was an interesting day!

There is an interesting fact about Alaska and earth quakes. It is called a critical wedge. What has happened is as the mount range was pushed up, the weight do the mountains semi stabilized the region from seismic activity. But……the rise of the mountains created localized weather phenomena with extra rain and erosion. This erosion, it is postulated, is slowly releasing the weight which is stabilizing the region. Parallel crevasses have formed in the ocean floor showing the evidence of the stress which are forming because of the mass of the mountains being reduced because of the erosion process. Neat eh?

I grew up in CA and had been through many earthquakes in my time... I moved to AR about 2011 and one night I was on the couch when I heard the tink tink tink of stuff vibrating from the p-wave and thought, "oh, an earthquake... wait, I'm in AR now, hahaha must be a truck" but then it got stronger and was definitely an earthquake... it wasn't terribly strong or a violent motion so I wasn't scared, at least not until I remembered that I lived in a house built in 1911, in a region that probably didn't take earthquakes into account when it was being built and a whole new fear was unlocked. 😄

No, that’s not all you can do. You can prepare by having a supply of water and food to live on after a big quake. By having a plan for your family for how to get back together afterwards, and any other needs for who does what. By keeping an emergency kit in your vehicles. Yeah, hope it doesn’t occur in our lifetime, but there are things you can do.
