As someone who lives in a place that gets semi-regular earthquakes I feel like I need to shed some light on what you should actually do during one. Firstly, DO NOT RUN. It is one of the main reasons people get hurt. You're better off carefully walking to where you need to be. Secondly, if you are inside, stay away from windows and "duck, cover, hold". Duck to the ground, find cover under a sturdy table, desk etc. and hold onto the cover. Doorways can also work, but make sure you have a foot out to stop the door from crashing into you (not as safe as a table, but a good alternative). Ultimately the best place to be is out in the open away from buildings. If you live by the coast and the earthquake is a large one, get to high ground or further inland immediately. I'm not talking up buildings, I'm talking up hills. Tsunamis are no joke.

Okay, that underwater one was amazing. Being in the water stabilized them while the ground just shook under them. That's phenomenal footage of how violent the shaking is. Sharp and hard back and forth. Such incredible footage.

Fun fact: Earthquakes are felt more strongly the higher you go in a building, not most strongly at ground level.

4:57am June 28, 1992. My pool had 10 foot high waves caused by the 7.8 Landers Earthquake. I will never forget the water crashing into our glass door. Half the water in the pool was lost to the street. I found the missing cap to the pool deck strainer high atop our Yucca Trees.

These videos on this channel are exactly what i type to search when im bored now they are all in one spot. Love it.

Fun fact: phones can also record video in landscape mode. If you’re recording a scene that is wider than it is tall, landscape mode is preferable.

"crashing through the fence like the Kool Aid man" got me good 😂

The earthquake in Turkey was truly terrible. I've been there and experienced that. Ten cities were damaged, many people died. I felt like it was happening again while watching the video.

Extremely informative, I really appreciate the "science behind" some of the segments, such as rivers reversing course, and the effects of an earthquake on divers while underwater. Very unique and well presented, thanks!

I can't believe how calm the person was filming that rooftop Mexico pool

I went white water rafting 5 weeks to the day before the 2015 Nepal earthquake right at what turned out to be the epicenter of the quake. I can only imagine how terrifying it would have been to be rafting when it happened. I am pretty sure there would have been many rafts on the river on a Saturday at noon. It was busy when I did it

Can anyone explain to me why, in all of these videos (except the high rise one), the sudden panic impulse of everyone is to get out of a swimming pool during an earthquake? If it were me, I would be trying my hardest to keep away from the concrete edge of any pool, I wouldn't want my head bashed in.

During the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake in Northern California a friend of mine was in the balcony of the 50 mtr pool at the University of San Francisco. The pool was aligned with the direction the quake was coming from and soon after it started six foot high waves were rolling the length of the pool and smashing against the wall at the north end. Nobody was in the pool but I wish I had been.

[GabiJobe-vi]

That's actually really cool. The way the water changed directions. Phenomenal

[GrandmaLovesScuba]

I would be terrified to be that high up in a building during an earthquake!
Edit: People, stop saying the narrator is wrong about Mexico being in North America! Get a map and really look at it...

[romaneberle]

nice video. some actually usable background information, sober editing, not too much filler footage, and watchable source footage that actually shows the actual events. not frustrating. :-)

[aceathor]

1:00 crazy guy staying in the pool filming.
If the wall break he go down with the water on the street.
Sorry if bad English, I'm French.

On #3: I just capture my footage rather than helping people get out of the water! That's where we are with the smartphone generation

3:40pm April 4th, 2010 (Easter Sunday) I was in my pool with friends drinking I started to feel strange, think I know I’ve been drinking, but I haven’t drank that much. My dad then yelled out EARTHQUAKE!!! Because this Earthquake was further away than Landers, our pool didn’t react so violently. Which was good because I was in it.

Thank you for the update, Underworld..!! Earthquakes are scary.. 🥶
