3D Los Angeles: Earthquake SIZE Comparison!

My own 3D Los Angeles tested for 10 earthquakes!

I'm deeply grateful to Jenda Johnson, Victor Vescu and Cameron Fetter for the inspiration you've shared with me. You have truly made a difference!

I hope my simulations will educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards and create more curiosity about Earth Science in general. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a future generation of amazing architects, engineers and scientists! We all need to peacefully work together to make this world a better place. :)

My goal is to show people around the world the effects of different earthquake shaking levels on various buildings and structures.

Why was i recommended this when we literally had an earthquake today in LA

[Not_Legion]

Crazy. I watched this video the night before and thought to myself "Scary. I wonder when a next quake will happen?" Sure enough i wake up to my apartment shaking. 4.7 Mag in LA today.

[nahoj.]

the collapse of the U.S. Bank Tower looked incredibly realistic 👍👍
are the buildings really that resilient though??

[michelefritchie]

Biggest earthquake I've been in was the Northridge Quake. The year of aftershocks almost drove us nuts! Recently, we had a few mild EQs, no damage, but they sure keep you on your toes!

[yametekudasaii]

The effort, the amount of objects you put through is astounding. Love your LA work

[kiefcoffee]

LA native and hugee geography nerd, thank you so much for the maps detailing each fault !!

[JKVisFX]

The Cascadia fault rupture!

L.A. is my home town. The biggest earthquake I experienced was the 1971, m6.5 San Fernando earthquake. I was 7yo. Thankfully, I was living in the Milwaukee, WI area at the time of the Northridge earthquake. There are still many old, unreinforced, masonry and concrete, low and mid-rise buildings throughout the greater L.A. area. That event sparked a life-long fascination with earthquakes, tectonics, and volcanism. I pretty addicted to your sims. I'm a 3D generalist myself, I do indeed understand how much work goes into doing even the relatively simple modeling you are doing. I'm guess that, most of your time and computing resources go into running the sims.

I live in Santa Monica California (Los Angeles County) used to live in San Francisco. My house is new and built to current earthquake codes for California and the office I work in has been retrofitted to current California earthquake codes. I have a storm shelter with a month’s worth of food and supplies in the case of an actual earthquake emergency.

[zeldathomas]

Impressed that so many of the buildings stayed up even in the final hypothetical!

Though I imagine there would be a lot of internal damage from furniture, ceiling panels, plumbing etc. Plus windows getting broken as glass doesn't flex much at all

[wilcofaber]

Nice video with maps included. Very impressive

[CarGuy-hfcn]

So proud of you Earthquake sim, you came this far, been watching you since 2022, can't wait till you get 100k then a million

[BBQPitsTasteGood]

The owner of "That One Skyscraper" that collapses every time starting at 4:20 is probably sweating HARD right now.

[verynostalgicgamer]

Great video, EQS! Great realistic animation. I live in a very small town about 30 minutes away from LA but the biggest earthquake i have felt was 5.2 magnitude, it knocked down a lamp near me

[ethanschannel]

OMG I love the night lighting effects in the beginning🤩🤩🤩. It looks so cool😎. Your simulations are just getting better and better each time🥳

[angellacanfora]

This was very good, though chilling! Left me feeling emotional. As a SoCal native who has lived through many quakes, I'm always on guard for the Big One. Maybe you could do a vid featuring the Palos Verdes fault and its effects on LA? I have a particular interest in this as I live in the South Bay!

[craiggillett]

6.3 in New Zealand 🇳🇿, absolutely destroyed a modern first world city called Christchurch. It’s shocking how much damage each small increase in Magnitude causes, a couple of years later I was in the Capital city Wellington and there was a 6.9 just south. I was in one of the tallest buildings in the city working on lever 18 or so, and I cannot describe the sound that high rise buildings make when they rock back and forward and slam into each other. People screaming, dust coming down from the ceilings, look out to the window and see the bright, clear blue sky filled with hundreds of thousands of birds flying in panic, lights flickering, and everyone under their desks with water bottles and phones… screaming. Absolutely terrifying, I will never forget it. Thank goodness for our building codes.

[Jelaun]

Watching this as my feet are kicked up in my downtown Los Angeles apartment! 😂😂😂

[EarthquakeSim]

Who felt today’s quake in downtown LA?!

[shumana]

Love your SIMs. It gave me a chuckle seeing coconut palms in L.A.

[Dwegles]

Glad you made some stuff on LA!
I actually live really close to a fault near LA, but it hasn't ruptured in a million years.
