    I'm from Chile and have experienced two earthquakes over 8.0 and they were pretty terrifying, thankfully most of our buildings are made to resist those kind of quakes so there isn't much destruction compared to other countries. Tsunamis are way scarier though.

  • @AndrewSmith-gn1nq
    @AndrewSmith-gn1nq Před 6 lety +26

    The New Madrid fault is very concerning and you should’ve talked about it more. Cities like St. Louis, Memphis, Nashville, and many smaller cities and towns would be devastated. Also, many pipelines deliver gas and fuel through that area. If that were to happen again there that would cripple the Midwest and result in more deaths than any other earthquake in the US to date.

    • @Radnugget
      @Radnugget Před 2 lety +4

      From my understanding of the NMSZ, as a person who lived literally where the second Quake happened, it would definitely damage St Louis and Memphis, but Nashvill would not be as affected. It still cause a big shake but nothing super damaging, the biggest concern is all the bridges on the mississippi. MAny of those would be knocked out, especially near the fault which is a major throughfare, there is also almost no ferries or infastructre for it so if those bridges go down a massive economic collapse could happen with goods. Some other major worries is Barkley Dam. While Kentucky Dam is well protected from earthquakes, spefically being built with earthquakes in mind. Barkley dam does not have the same protections, so esentially that will be a major point of failure and could cause massive flood damage to Paducah and a few other towns on the river. There is also the fact if either of those dams are destoryed power supply would be majorly screwd for a large swatch of Kentucky and Tennessee.
      Yeah NMSZ is scary.

      Uh, Yellowstone is not overdue for an eruption. ... The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption. If Yellowstone does erupt again, it need not be a large eruption.

      psch we are using the imperial system, which is not obsolete and is in active use in many fields. lots of europeans don't *like* that so they cry about it and talk crap but it's a perfectly fine system. the fact is that most countries retain their colloquial system of measurement *along with SI units*. without america's support for SI, metric would be dead.
      we teach both, perhaps europeans aren't smart enough to handle a measurement which is focused on using multiple logarithms, but this is algorithmically superior to metric's single logarithm system. it's easier for lesser humans to just use 1 though. it just surprises me since we can teach our children about it without even explaining what a logarithm is to them, but i guess europe is just... well u know.

Plus other areas. Major earthquakes are starting to happen now.

      Razer 0901 the asteroid that created the chicxulub crater 66 million years ago in what is today Mexico produced a magnitude 13 earthquake. The impact site was shallow water at the time and produced tsunamis of up to 330 feet. Had the same asteroid hit the Pacific Ocean instead of the Gulf of Mexico, the tsunami would have been 15,000 feet tall in stead of 330. However, the asteroid was 6-10 miles in diameter and tsunamis would be the least of your worries.

    I was within 10 miles of the Northridge quake in 1994... which felt like a slamming to the ground.
    I was within 85 miles of the Ridgecrest 7.1 earthquake at 8:19 yesterday which was a rolling motion.
    Wasn’t the San Andreas Fault line, but I hope it doesn’t trigger one. I’m so scared of quakes.

    I was in the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. I was freshman in high school and I lived on Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage. It's impossible to explain how scary it is...
    We slept on the living room floor for 2 wks afterwards. Everything was shaking; the kitchen cabinet doors flew open and and cans started flying everywhere. You couldn't stand up. We kept food and water in the car....so many memories. My high school broke in half and fell into the ocean. Our earthquake was 9.2

    I have experienced some 8-10 strong earthquakes myself, I’m from Mexico and live in Mexico City, the one that happened last September was one of the strongest ones I’ve ever felt. I’m also part of a rescue team and we were very active during the aftermath of the earthquake. Some tips from someone with training and with experience with earthquakes are: 1)Most important rule: never panic, always be calm and follow instructions 2)If you can’t evacuate a building in less than 20 seconds then don’t, find a compact room or look for structural walls and stay there in a safe position 3)don’t use the stairs, most of the corpses found in fallen buildings are located were the stairs were 4)don’t make phone calls, after an earthquake, most of the phone are collapsed or saturated, also emergency services are working, it is more recommendable to use instants message apps like WhatsApp, line, messenger, messages, etc 5)If you see that the building you’re in has transversal rifts on the structural walls, evacuate immediately and in order, it’s very likely that the structure will collapse and 6)if you can’t evacuate go for the top floors, it’s better to have just one floor over you than seven or eight.

      @AtarahDerek Před 5 lety +1

      I was watching another video that said a similarly sized quake along the Seattle fault (which runs across Puget Sound from the Olympic peninsula through downtown Seattle) could trigger landslides that in turn cause very damaging local tsunamis. Seattle would actually be shielded from the most intense of both seismic and tsunami waves that come with an M9 Cascadia quake, and subsequently would escape the worst of the damage from such a tremor. Which makes an M7 along the Seattle fault potentially more devastating for the city. But said Seattle fault quake could be triggered by the Cascadia quake.

Next time I visited in 1992 it was still very rough in sections particularly the marina district!

One city that you didn't mention that sits directly on a large fault line is Seattle itself. There is a fault line that runs east from the juncture of I-5 and I-90 and is also due for a big earthquake, though not of the magnitude of the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

    I lived through the 1989 Loma Prieta Quake. I was out near the Russian Cathedral (about half a mile from the ocean), and the ground was moving enough that I couldn't keep my footing. It was weird to hear windows breaking and buildings shaking, while the cathedral was just sitting there, not shaking or anything. Our section of SF (Civic Center) had a blackout for three days, and I remember a couple of homeless guys trying to direct traffic til the cops got there (even the traffic lights were out for the whole three days). I think my mum in Michigan was more scared than I was since TV there kept showing the fire in the Marina Dostrict and the overpass in Oakland. We actually got off pretty well compared to Oakland where 42 people died when the upper section of an overpass collapsed onto a lower section. SF had fewer than a dozen deaths all told--the worst damage seemed to be in Monterey and Santa Cruz. I came home to find that my neighbor had furniture overturned in the temblor but when I checked my apartment, everything was exactly as I'd left it including several cans of cat food piled up on the kitchen counter, which just shows you how weird earthquake effects can be.

      The odds of you experiencing a given fault line's biggest quake in your lifetime are quite small. Higher in subduction zones such as Cascadia, but still pretty slim. The San Andreas generally produces M5 to M7 quakes, which can still do a lot of damage.

Are we prepared? Yes. The thing about life is that tomorrow is never guaranteed so we have to treat every day as if it were our last. I tell people that quakes are the price we pay for living in some of the most beautiful land in America. Much love y'all.
