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.

I'm thinking it's because instead of just feeling it through your feet, your entire body is getting tossed around and much more dangerously. It would be much harder to hold yourself in place against the mass of the water and would be more likely to get pushed against the wall.

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

The falls are not an earthquake. It's the tide. The rivers that run into the Bay of Fundy reverse course at high tide. Those particular falls are the Reversing Falls in Saint John, NB. We don't have earthquakes, but we've got the highest tides in the world (about 50 feet).

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.

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.

I recall the Easter Earthquake in 2010, from my Aunt's house in So Cal. Her neighbor's pool sloshed around. My buddy in Las Vegas said it was a wild ride from inside his high rise condo room.

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

For five years after the San Jose and loma prreada earthquakes we were busy as hell fixing or replacing in ground pools and spas. One pool we demoed was sticking straight out of the ground.

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. :-)

I was in LA and watched my '69 VW Bug ride the asphalt as the pavement rolled like waves in the ocean. It was crazy!

Not sure where the earthquake occurred, but #5 was a video of a tsunami coming up Wailuku river in Hilo, Hawaii. That’s the open ocean, and when a small wave came in it went upstream. That river is still flowing today as it always has.

How about a Petroleum Refinery explosion? I was vacuuming a large swimming pool at a YMCA that was 9 miles away from the Phillips 66 refinery near Deer Park, Texas. The refinery blew up and water in the pool jumped two feet up as a solid mass, then crashed down. My father worked at the Shell Oil refinery next to Phillips 66. Huge mushroom cloud.

That underwater quake footage is awesome - just wow!

Pools and earthquakes DO go together. High rise buildings are often designed to use one or more pools high in the structure, to take energy out of, and so reduce, the building vibrations.

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

I remember the Calexico 'Easter' quake. Having grown up in Southern California I knew the feeling. However, it was not something I ever expected to feel in Arizona. Might not have been so notable had I been on the ground floor but was living in a 2nd floor apartment outside of Phoenix.

The humor in your videos is like a fine wine; it just keeps getting better with time!

Cool videos, but the triple screen sucks! Full screen picture would be much more appreciated

....Up in a high-rise, which are (supposed to be) designed to absorb ground movement, the swaying would be more intense though the actual shaking will be dampened some. At the ground level youll get the shaking and more abrupt movement. All things considered, rather be outside in a field......honestly, earthquakes are pretty neat out in the open!

I wish people would film in panoramic - like TVs ;)

On October 16th, 1999 my Submarine USS Asheville (SSN-758) was tied up at Submarine Base Point Loma, San Diego, when the 7.2 Hector Mine Earthquake hit. I had just crossed the brow to the boat, from the pier so I didn’t feel the quake. However I noticed the boat moving back and forth, seeing the lines getting really taught really fast thinking they were going to part. Fortunately they didn’t.

Like the Kool-Aid man LOL

EPIC CATCHES!! scarrrryyyy but epic too😱😱

Actually swimming pool on the roof is great idea in the case of the earthquake - it stabilizes the building .

Insane all of them! But the first video they were so chill and just sat in there savageeee haha I’d be peeing my pants and crying 😂

Thank you, Underworld.

The waterfall reversing isn't an earthquake. Those are the Reversing Falls in Saint John, New Brunswick, and that happens twice a day. The tide off the Bay of Fundy is the highest in the world, and it cause the falls to run backward at high tide. The same thing happens in rivers, with tidal bores causing the water to reverse course. We don't even have earthquakes.

"Assuming the ground doesn't open up beneath you..." Thanks, I now have a new fear.

Wonderful, frightening, but wonderful

Tomorrow, February 9, will be the 53rd anniversary of the 1971 Sylmar (California) earthquake, which hit at 6:00 a.m.. We were living in Beverly Hills at the time, and although it was a magnitude 6.5, we were too far away (about 21 miles) to feel the worst of it. The water in our swimming pool violently rocked back and forth, but fortunately most of it stayed in the pool. It was the first major earthquake I ever experienced, and I’m glad that it didn’t occur on a warm summer day when we would have been using the pool.

I can't believe my eyes! This is the most entertaining video I've ever seen!

I was in San Diego during the 2010 earthquake. I remember that some of the glass ornaments I had hung on the wall fell down and broke.

"If the earthquake was that powerful at the top of a high rise, imagine how it must have felt to those on the first floor." You don't know much about earthquakes do you?

I never experienced earthquakes before living in Costa Rica for a while! IT WAS VERY INTENSE! 😬 Everything flying, literally! Once I was on the 7th floor when it happened! I just got used to it!

I've witnessed an Earthquake happen while in the air! Flying over a large Lake! Calm waters one minute, White Caps and Surf washing up on the shore the next second! Was pretty crazy!

The upper levels of a high rise always sway more, like willows, they bend instead of breaking. The ground floor shaking will be less intense..

Crazy when one sees the impact of an earthquake on pool water....reminds you of the scale of the impact it has on bigger bodies, like the ocean. The power of mother nature.

Not sure if it was an Earthquake, but the Yellowstone currently flows east the the Missouri river, the Mississippi river and south into the Golf of Mexico. But in the past it turned north and flowed into Hudson Bay.

OMG!!! So do you stay in the building? That is terrifying!

The Northridge quake caused water to slosh out of our pool in Simi Valley all day. Not as bad as these though.

When the frequency of the back-and-forth movement of the waves, hits what is called the "resonant frequency," that's when things get really gnarly. "All systems, including molecular systems and particles, tend to vibrate at a natural frequency depending upon their structure; this frequency is known as a resonant frequency or resonance frequency."
