Here's a good one, but sadly the guy's wife died in this. Story is an old man went upstairs to grab a lantern and realized he wouldn't make it back down before the tornado hit so decided to capture it on camera.

This doesn't show the quake at all, but it's the live feed from the World Series when Loma Prieta hit. Probably the most live-witnessed natural disaster in human history.

I have some law quality but rare clips from a CHP training video showing damage, I'll try and dig them up.

42 people. The quake happened at exactly 5 in the evening during rush hour, but it was game 3 of the World Series so a lot of people had gone home early or stayed at work late to watch. With normal traffic it would have been several hundred.

Basically, they built it completely wrong. The upper deck was only supported by one column a side per section rather than two for redundancy, they weren't actually tied to the columns below them (basically the top deck's columns were just sitting on top of the lower deck) and the supports weren't braced to keep them from shattering (which you can see happening in the gif). There were also issues with the quality of the rebar and cement. A bad deal all around.

On the topic of bad construction, if you live in an earthquake prone area, in one of those apartments where the living area is a second floor supported by columns over a parking area -- MOVE. Those things have an 80% failure rate in 7.5+ quakes. When they run simulations on major quakes in LA and the Bay Area, those types of apartments account for almost all the fatalities.

Probably true at the time. The 80s didn't have live cameras on a lot of places to instantly broadcast everywhere, so it you caught it live on one of the major three broadcast US networks, tens of millions of people saw it.

That said, I doubt that's still true and I'd guess more people saw this one going on given all the advance warning they got.

Glitches sometimes, though. Like a few months ago when the system alerted everyone in the country that a magnitude 9.1 just went off directly under Tokyo and then had to retract the false alarm a few seconds later.

>>1394371
so this is how landslides work

>>1397119

Basically water saturates the soil to the point that the surface can slide down on a cushion of mud

Thus why in landslide areas next to the road you'll often see pipes sticking out of the hillside, to allow the water to drain out to the surface rather than staying underneath the slope

Story to this: 'Clarence "Clem" Schultz' as seen a the bottom of the video is the name of the 84 year old man who filmed this from his upstairs window. Once it was all over he climbed out of the rubble only to find that his wife, Geraldine Schultz, 67, was one of the many people who died from the tornado.

>>1399104
Damn, 17 years older than his wife, probably never expected to die after her. I'm 11.5 older than my partner, and it's sad to say this, but I'm betting on dying first so I don't have to be without her.

Because if we ran away from every slight risk and danger, we would live in France?

I mean seriously, what's your suggestion? Move underground into vaults? Live as nomads?

There's hundreds of millions of people, they need places to live and work. We need farms. We need timberland. We need ports and railroads and gas fields.

I will concede that New Orleans is a mistake, but that's a city literally built below sea level. Most of the cities only get bad weather every once in a while, and rebuilding is easy enough.

This reminds me of all that footage of the Thailand tsunami.

And then the water starts coming in and you know all those people on the beach are fucking dead.

>>1402213
post a webm

>>1402173
The cause of a landslide can be a few thing, but a common mechanism is an abundance of water causing pore pressure between grains in the soil to increase, whereupon it loses almost all of its strength. It could also be caused by types of clays that expand when they get wet

Sinkholes tend to be caused by water, though the mechanism itself is different. If the rock is composed of a significant amount of an easily soluble mineral, such as gypsum, groundwater will eventually dissolve this and remove it as it flows through, causing subsidence. A perfect example of this is Ripon in the UK, they have loads of subsidence problems there, I think there was another one just a couple of weeks ago

>>1405370

No, didn't get in trouble. Telling people they will die if they stay in the path of a hurricane isn't wrong in any way. Even the most hugboxy news will tell you that you will die if you're an idiot.

>>1402213

>Further south on east coast=Hurricane
>Middle of country=Tornadoes
>West coast = Earthquakes.

>>1408849
There have been bigger in Japan and more in Japan, so they're more experienced with it. The one that hit Tokyo in 1923 killed over a hundred thousand people (the 1906 San Francisco one only killed around 3,000). As a result, they've traditionally been a lot more stringent in making everything they build earthquake-resistant.

Earthqaukes have two sets of waves.

P (Primary) waves, also called Pressure Waves, go fastest. This is basically just a shock-wave traveling out from the moving area of the fault. Because they're just a wave of compression and expansion, they move at essentially the speed of sound through the ground. We can't feel them very easily, but dogs and many other animals are more sensitive and can feel them. At a distance from the epicenter, they can arrive seconds or even minutes before the actual shaking.

S (Secondary) waves, also called Shear waves, move slower but cause more shaking. Usually when we think about a quake, the up/down, side to side swaying is caused by shear waves.

Although there are cases of animals becoming disturbed and restless before either wave reaches them, or even before any quake takes place at all, these are extremely rare and hard to verify. Far more common is animals noticing the P waves (like the doggo) then freaking out and running away before the S waves (the shakarooni) hits the location.

That gif is from Eureka, California, from a 6.5 that happened about 33 miles off the coast from the city in 2010. It's from the newsroom of the local paper. The doggo is named Sophie and lived a long and very happy life until she died of doggo cancer about a year ago. A lot of buildings had bricks fall out.

Oddly, I was in Eureka for a 6.9 in 2014, that shook much longer but less violently and didn't cause any damage at all. I walked out front and watched people shoot of fireworks while the ground was still shaking.

Eureka is an odd place.

The point of debunking the bridge urban legend is to not give people a false sense of security. You'd be better off laying prone in a ditch than trying to find a bridge, then climbing in between bridge girders, assuming the bridge you happen to find even has an exposed substructure.

One of the science channel clip-discussion shows talked about this one, the power cable had its insulation compromised IIRC, so the charge jumped to the lower cable, and began "flowing" down the cable as a ball of plasma. They can jump to anything conductive at any moment, and the guy recording had his eyebrows burned off I think. He could've been cooked alive if it'd jumped to him while leaning half out the window filming.

New Madrid Fault. They don't get earthquakes often, but when they happen they're very big -- bigger than 1906 even. And of course none of the buildings out there are built to withstand quakes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1811%E2%80%9312_New_Madrid_earthquakes

During the last series of big ones, the fault uplifted enough to cause sections of the Missouri river to flow backwards and created a few lakes. There was a little tiny quake (2.3) in MO just this morning.

Earthquakes can happen anywhere. Charleston SC was partially destroyed by a 7.0 earthquake in 1886, which had no history of quakes at all before hand. Virginia had a 5.8 in 2011 that knocked down parts of the interior of the Washington monument in DC. They're not as well understood as the quakes out west, but they happen.

Not anywhere near the regularity that they happen out west though. I'm up in Eureka and we get noticeable quakes ever week. I was here for a 6.9 a few years ago and it's been bumpy ever since.

Why are us building made out of wood and paper and not reinforced concrete?

>>1431469
Depends on where it is... In California we use a lot of wood for the skeleton of the structure because of earthquakes. Wood bends meaning its much more stable if a big quake hits.

>>1405223

Fuckin hell, I was in Daytona and everyone here fucking lived. No joke, the only death I heard of was after the fact. Some lady had gone out to feed the stray cats and a tree broke, fell, and crushed her.

>>1428221
I live in Indiana and my wife and I carry earthquake insurance on our home precisely because of the New Madrid fault. The 5.2 a few years back caused a sinkhole on our property. The big issue here, like the link says, is the ground liquefies and sends damaging shocks out much, much farther than an equivalent quake in Southern California, for instance.

>>1399104
man that gives me such an erection imagining that. too bad it wasn't a younger couple. it's especially hot when it's a younger girl and her boyfriend finds her and starts sobbing over her corpse like a fucking baby.

no think it's got more to do with hurricane force winds not being a problem in places where they're experienced more than one every 5 years.

My town is in northern canada and we get 300km winds every winter

we've had two roofs fly off in the 22 years I've lived here and both of them were right next to each other, made by a texan who had moved to town, bought the lots, and ignored sensible building code in favor of lavish and hastily built houses that were cheap to produce yet looked nice enough to sell for 750k each.

Needless to say he ended up paying nearly 2 million in damages to surrounding buildings and 3 million to the homeowners

you know what they say, they don't build them like they used to? Applies to houses in Canada, too. You can't settle for less than storm proof.

Texfag here. I've seen enough to last me a lifetime.

Most recent experience was when leaving the state of Texas via the western border with New Mexico (we now live in Utah) when I was 16. It was night, and there was a massive thunderstorm system about 3/4 mi away to our 4-5 o'clock.

We were wondering why all the semi trucks were speeding so badly, as I was watching the storm out the window (I was in the front passenger seat with Mom driving).

Suddenly, there were two simultaneous lightning strikes, and in between them, perfectly framed, was a massive funnel. I then say, "Mom, they're probably speeding from the tornado behind us."

We started speeding too.

Well, you can think liberal art students at UC Berkely for protesting that money was being wasted on "fake science" for shutting down the US Early Warning system. All the seismographs and transmitters are in place, the computers at Menlo Park can take in all the data, but UC cut the funding to their hub and won't give the USGS access to their seismograph network so it's dead in the water.

But at least they got to expand their women's studies program to include feminist glaciology and a host of other insane topics, good thing they didn't waste any tax money on something as stupid as trying to warn people about earthquakes!

Oh that's SOOO much better than having an early warning system for earthquakes

I had some documentaries about tornadoes on VHS that were made the 90s.
All of them said to get out of cars since they can get tossed around rolled for miles.
I think I remember them saying if you couldn't find anything better, lie in a ditch since fast flying objects will tend to go over you.
However, I think they also said the corners of underpasses were good places to go, and I was recently reading that this isn't a good idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_myths#Using_highway_overpasses_as_shelter

>>1395525
nah but for real has anybody been able to identify what flew by at 1:26 because it looks like a fucking human body.

>>1442952
I am 90% sure that you are right. That looked like a person.

>>1435311
>If you aren't already panicking due to the incoming tornado here's some sounds that will surely remind you of the sweet embrace of imminent death.

>>1442331

Being under an overpass and up against the inside isn't WORSE than being outside, the issue is that it's not much better (the one famous case was an unusual overpass that basically had alcoves like caves that people hid in) and they don't want people to intentionally drive to overpasses when they'd be just as safe lying in a ditch.

It's kinda like how pure tobacco can't be marketed as healthier than tobacco with accelerants in it, it's not actually worse, it's just a false sense of security.

If you happen to be under an overpass in your car when a tornado comes by, it's probably a good idea to get up in the corner rather than staying in your car.

That's just women being inferior. I was on the highway recently and some dick suddenly pulled out, I jerked to avoid crashing and ended up doing a 180 and skidding across multiple lanes. At that point, ALL women will just let go and start screaming and will crash. Most men, including me, will wrestle the wheel and try to regain control while NOT screaming or making much noise. I successfully did recover my car just before I smashed into the center barrier. Those are the differences between the two genders.

>>1447621

> It was from a movie all along

FFS, FORGET about the driving statistics here. The point I'm trying to make here is that in a panic situation, most women will freeze up and scream while most men will take action. I simply gave you an example that actually did happen to me and told you how a woman and a man would react in it. You are nitpicking on the most random ass detail that has NOTHING to do with the point I'm making. Go back to middle school and learn reading comprehension.

>>1449000
It absolutely is relevant to the point that you are making. And no, I don't think the average woman would just freeze up. Human beings expereince adrenaline, not just men. I think you are just taking some stupid stereotype to justify your annoyance of the feminine gender.
