I have been through 3 big earthquakes in the 80s and 90s in L.A and it was by far the most frightening, out of control feeling, you'll ever have.

Great video Paul, you can tell this family genuinely cares for each other

I had been in Kaikoura between the 12th-13th of November last year for a mate's stag do. We left Kaikoura to head back home to Nelson at 12pm on the 13th, exactly 12 hours before this powerful and incredibly complicated earthquake struck. It felt extremely strong in the Nelson region and I can't imagine what it would've been like closer to the ruptures. Apparently the earthquake ruptured up to a length of 200km starting near Culverden and rupturing along several fault lines all the way as far north as Cape Campbell. The most severe shaking as seen in this video was a result of the Kekerengu and Needles faults rupturing during the earthquake.

Thanks for sharing guys. This is the best vid I've found for representing my experience too (Petone). I'll tell you what, every time it gets to the part where you two are under the desk and the two bigger jolts rip through, my tummy drops. Still can't quite believe that is now part of my history.

I was 10 years old at the time. However the 8.4 one (in September 2015) will always be in my memory. It hit at 7:54PM and it lasted 6 minutes. It was pretty similar to the 7.8 you had in NZ but longer, like this slow but intense lateral swaying that it's just weird. I was 15 at the time btw. A good video of it is one that was recorded in my city, just look up "Terremoto Vespucio" and the first result will be it. Cheers.

Fellow Wellingtonian here - I was just telling a Canadian friend about this quake yesterday, wasn't expecting to find a video of it, especially not one from a Wellington POV! So thanks, this is useful to show them more what it was like. Gosh I remember being terrified at the time (I was in an apartment building and it SWAYED) as it was the biggest one I could remember feeling. Still kinda scary to see it like this even, to have a wider view of just how intense it was in the region! I remember diving to the floor next to my bed, which I think permanently screwed up my knee haha, oops.

Most homes in NZ are built with timber framing because it flexes better than masonry (which is brittle and tends to crack) during earthquakes. Also, with shelving it is always best to put heavier stuff at the bottom to anchor the unit better in a quake from a centre of gravity perspective. This seems to be what these guys have done.

Bruh they are so calm, if I were there when it started happening I would probably start screaming and be on full panic mode!

I moved from New Zealand to Australia and still have nightmares over the earthquakes since I used to live in Christchurch lol

Hi Paul, great video! I live approx 8km from the epicentre between Rotherham and Culverden, Ours started with a slight shake then about 30 seconds of jolts before going to a rolling motion, amazlingly enough we had no damage due to the fact we are south of the epicentre not north, but some farm houses around us have been red stickered. We are very lucky!

*Both duck under desks* Earthquake: "Wait, come back."

Were you playing wow? Just curious :D

Ooh, you guys ducked during the secondary wave. The surface waves are the part where it shakes the hardest. I'm in California and my rule for quakes has always been "if it shakes hard right away and does it more than a few times in a row, duck and cover!" Because you never know if you're feeling the surface waves or the secondary waves, and it's always better to be under cover when it feels like Godzilla is playing soccer with your house.

Hi this is my story from Nelson NZ. So basically it was my birthday on 14th November so I am up to midnight already (It happened around 12:03 AM) I checked my phone and I was like " Yay its my birth day.....GOD DAMMIT I'M THIRISTY" so I got up and started to walk across the room to the door way. Because it was late and it was dark I didn't notice the earthquake at first (In the video it was minor before it got big) so when it did hit (like in the video ) I was real surprised. I got thrown to floor (Nelson was a lot closer to the epic center than Wellington so it was stronger) and my mum was woken in the next room. I got up and walked to the hallway. My mum was in my brothers room and the light was banging against his bunk. Afterwards my mum said that she concluded if the bunk fell she would be crushed and Jamie (my brother) would most properly be fine so she took me under the door way (She is a architect so she knows that the door way is actually the strongest part of the house) after a minute it stops for like a second then starts up stronger than before. It was dark and I was real confused. After it was over my mum checked Jamie (He was asleep) than Mum walked up and turned on the TV to check if any one had died or got injured. For practically the whole night facebook was alive and she was on it so I went to bed. Only after I was in bed I was like *HEY......ITS MY BIRTHDAY" XD

Not all big earthquakes came up like that. Look like where they were at the epicenter were quite far away. If you are closer to the epicenter the big earthquake would start off fast, loud, and intense.

I live in Illinois and we never practice earthquake drills, I was very confused as to why the disappeared under the desk. I looked it up tho and now I understand.

Freshly here after a nine months long series of earthquakes in Croatia, the strongest one being 6.2 five days ago. That said, 7.8 sounds like getting run over by a car after a nasty fall from a bike. One can never get used to the stronger ones.

Them: giving zero f***s for almost a minute of palpable shaking Me: sprinting out the house at the first tremble with seven photo albums under one arm and my dog in the other screaming EARTHQUAKE!! EARTHQUAKE!!

The scariest part about the damn thing is that it went on forever. You're feeling it like "When's this thing gonna STOP?"

Far out, man. I'm in Kapiti, and this earthquake freaked the shit out of me mainly because it wasn't just big, it was big AND it wasn't stopping.

That was the scariest earthquake i've lived through as it was really violent but nothing fell over or smashed at all in our house (we are in Upper Hutt/Totara park).

Its now 2019 and i still can remember this night how can we ever forget it .

I live in Loburn which is 60km from culverden and 30km from Christchurch. When the quake hit, it went on for about a minute or two but wasn't that strong compared to the 6 and 7 magnitude earthquakes in Christchurch. The Christchurch quakes were very sharp and quick, it mainly created damage to buildings and homes. The 7.8 in North Canterbury was long and wavy, it was more destructive to the ground and geological area (converging)

@BeckerAviation

Yeah I perfectly know what you mean. The ones in Christchurch were quick and this 7,8 one was oscillating. Here in Chile we had the same comparison between the 8,8 2010 earthquake and the 2015 8,4 one. The 8,8 one was really sharp and quick and did major damage to old buildings, however the 2015 8,4 one (my city Santiago is 250km away from the epicenter) was just like the North Canterbury one. The 2015 one wasn't sharp, but was very wavy and it lasted 6 minutes. Also the lights never went out, but it was evident that it was a 8,4 one.

From various reports I could see that the impact of the Chch quake in Feb 2011 was huge - the ground accelerations it created at Chch were far higher than this 7.8 caused. The Kaikoura quake was all about massive (but relatively slow) movements over a big area.

I was trying to describe this EQ to my mum back in the UK. But this shows it perfectly .You think it's a small one that's just rattling on then all hell breaks loose. Glad you guys were ok.

Chonny Bryan strange you say that because most people in Britain have felt small to moderate earthquakes from time to time, the 2008 M5.2 Lincolnshire earthquake was felt by 30 million people for example! 🤔

This, for us Chileans, is just a walk in the park and lots of giggles

Eduardo González well since Wellington gets massive earthquakes like other parts of NZ you never know if it's going to get bigger. Yes this was short but that is a normal reaction and after shock

This was 80km or so away from the main action(s). There were fatalities, and a 2.5-to-10m Tsunami following. It would have been a lot worse if it were near a large city.

We're not exactly in a giggling mood since 185 people died in Feb 2011 in Christchurch. Please show a bit of respect.

I hold heartedly agree, NZ gets earthquakes. BIG ones. So even if they are small ones people here are always going to wonder if it's going to be the big one

The camera never shows how things really move since it's moving too.

I walked outside the front of the house which faces west and we saw the clouds and sky flash bright white over in the Makara beach direction... later learned it's a rare phenomenon.

Some videos of it online from that quake. ‘Earthquake lights’ I had never heard of them before I saw them.

I remember being in this earthquake, very scary

Whatever camera you got, I want it. That’s the most impressive anti-shake ever

Cant imagine how scary that must be to go through

I remember waking up just before this quake happened and felt nervous in my stomach. It was quite the shake!

Same here! It's strange how the human body(mind?) can tell when shits gonna go down lol

I remember when that earthquake struck my dog starting barking before it happened of which that woke us up then we heard the rumbling and the shaking started. I had to do my Exams the next as well it wasn't fun at all when the aftershock kept coming during the Exams

The music makes it feel more dramatic. Great use of drop, cover and hold.

That music on the background made this look so cool...it's like a movie scene

It was Exodus, the film.

every device is gangsta till the earthquake strikes

we got woken up when a picture frame above the bed fell on us, we were on the 2nd story apartment block, and got to the balcony but couldnt get down the stairs. we were north of christchurch between Hamner Springs and the CBD... was messed up, stuck for 2 weeks before we could get home.

I was on the west coast of south island when this hit. Felt it almost as strong as this. It was a very "eerie" feeling quake, a real scary ominous vibe in the air.

Man... I remember that night clear as anything! It's funny, the 6.0 quake that hit Wellington before this one was the first big one I've ever felt and I was in Wellington at the time doing a graphic design course, took 2 hours to get home rather than just the usual hour.... I wasn't panicked at all and kept a cool head as I arranged a way to get home instead of usually going on the train, but in this 7.8, I was slightly panicked but I was getting my mum and little sister under the kitchen table. Now we just sit on our beds as there's nothing around it that could hit us unless the walls came down then we'd move. But this was super scary for me. I couldn't sleep for a week!

I’ve been in a 6.8 earthquake when I was in Wellington, it’s pretty scary!

Heaps of buildings will have viscous dampers in the future, they are installing them into buildings in California, because they are WAY overdue for a big quake. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Ymam0reGlNWdodI.html

I love the way they kept asking " you right"😁

we felt it from nelson and it was under the doorway the second the shaking started. Glad u guys r all good

Hi, I am a student making a documentary on the kaikoura earthquake and I wondered if I could use, 0:31 till 0:34 in my film?

I love the music! Seriously though, it was a scary earthquake in Christchurch, and it was clearly worse in Wellington! I hope you didn't get too much damage.

The funny thing is the music is from a game I was playing at the time. The change in music at the end was well timed and strangely appropriate ! No damage apart from one plant stand fallen over onto my bed, spilling soil over the blankets. I've blu-tacked most vulnerable items already, even the security camera the video is taken from is blu-tacked in place to the computer rack it sits on top of. This also stops the cam from wobbling too much and improves the image.
