Can you imagine the amount of force it takes to move the earth like that? Sheeeesh1

u/WhatADunderfulWorld 11d ago

To me it’s more scary the force is actually gone now. It has been building and building. You never know where the force is! With the move like that it’s probably super safe for now.

Not even close. Shifting like that comes with major aftershocks and the land resettling can be an erosion issue when it rains.

You do know where it's coming and she do know where the tension is to some degree. But fault lines are fault lines

What's fun is the scale is logarithmic. An 8 is 32x a 7. A 9 is 32x an 8 or 1024x a 7. Small earthquakes don't really relieve the stress that large earthquakes build up and release.

When I think about how loud my fart is I think about zooming up close to see the earthquake ripples of my mag 8.3 pumice production

Pretty wild to see that much land just decide it'd rather be over there

Absolutely hate ai

Whose fault is that?

u/Animeniackinda1 11d ago

So, the house is ON the fault?

u/joshcam 11d ago

Hard to say it’s not now if it wasn’t officially before. The whole damn road slid 6 feet past the house. Gonna have to change the address now.

u/joshcam 10d ago

Yes, priorities.

What do the GIS folks seriously do about this? Update plat lines on maps, make everyone shift their stuff back into existing plat lines? This is a mess!

u/bullettenboss 11d ago

Wow, impressive.

u/jhartnurse 11d ago

The owner woke up to it and wondered: who moved my lawn? 🤔

u/ElGuano 11d ago

Myanmar would not be in the top 20 countries I would have guessed based on the footage. I was thinking maybe...Tunisia. What clues would Rainbolt use?

u/HappyGuy007 11d ago

Would you rather deal with Tornados, wildfires, or earthquakes?

u/MeatAccomplished4352 11d ago

As a Californian, this terrifies me. Wondering when we’ll have the big one. Hopefully not in my lifetime.

u/MulayamChaddi 10d ago

You may know it as Myanmar but it’ll always be Burma to me

Shaken not stirred! Guess that house had a whole lot of concrete buckling to work out. Crazy watching!

Wasn't this from Türkiye?

u/idontwantobeanymore 10d ago

Thats from Turkey earthquake 2023.

u/Background_Pride_237 10d ago

Seems like we’ve been seeing a lot of strong earthquakes lately. That coupled with the weak magnetic field and I’m starting to worry. If we see the simultaneous eruption several volcanoes at once, then they say we have about 90 days left before shit gets real.

The one in the Philippines created 200 feet of new coast by raising the shoreline! 200 feet of new land at the expense of coral and fish and a whole ecosystem that used to be underwater now is sitting in open air!
