    I hope my simulations will educate the general public about potential earthquake related hazards and create more curiosity about Earth Science in general. I do also hope that my videos will inspire a future generation of amazing architects, engineers and scientists! We all need to peacefully work together to make this world a better place. :)
    My goal is to show people around the world the effects of different earthquake shaking levels on various buildings and structures.
    These simulations along with my piano music (Spotify/RUclips: @pardonmypiano

      If you literally had an earthquake then people searched on internet los angeles earthquake. Wich happens to be in this title also. Probably people searched some news surfed internet a bit more and stumbled upon this video , they watched the entire video since its interesting so the algorithm decides that this is one of the most accurate answers to the entry : los angeles earthquake. The device u use is connected to internet. You have an ip adress that sends location or indicates location. So los angeles people boosted views of this video because of the earthquake.

      I wasn’t even alive yet during Northridge, but my parents sure were! Their apartment shook so badly they thought they were gonna end up in the underground parking garage. After it jolted them out of bed, my mom recalls that she tried to get to the china cabinet to save their wedding gifts, but she couldn’t because she was getting thrown from wall to wall in the corridor between the bedroom and the kitchen. Dad pulled her back into the room and they sheltered together away from the window.
      Mom later found out that the glass and crystal wares had practically been reduced to dust, and the glass doors on the cabinet had shattered. Dad left after the big aftershock to check on family and friends. Mom was kind of peeved at him for leaving her, but he ended up helping a lot of people that day. To this day he still knows how to determine in a matter of seconds whether cracks on the side of a building are indicative of structural failure. He’s a brilliant guy.

      @antistrix I doubt a massive firestorm is achievable in the manner that LA is designed. Despite the looks, LA is not as condensed in space as compared to other locations where firestorms happened (i.e., Tokyo or Dresden). It might happen inside a building, but for a firestorm to wreck LA, it's gonna require 40% of the cities electrics and gas to be on fire simultaneously, but usually is about 15-20%

    The Cascadia fault rupture!
    L.A. is my home town. The biggest earthquake I experienced was the 1971, m6.5 San Fernando earthquake. I was 7yo. Thankfully, I was living in the Milwaukee, WI area at the time of the Northridge earthquake. There are still many old, unreinforced, masonry and concrete, low and mid-rise buildings throughout the greater L.A. area. That event sparked a life-long fascination with earthquakes, tectonics, and volcanism. I pretty addicted to your sims. I'm a 3D generalist myself, I do indeed understand how much work goes into doing even the relatively simple modeling you are doing. I'm guess that, most of your time and computing resources go into running the sims.

    I survived the Northridge Earthquake in Los Angeles 1994. Lived in Studio City area at the time. Whole apartment was bouncing up and down at 4:30 in the morning. Place was thrashed. Everything hit the floor. A few days later we moved into a house where I felt safer. The following year I transfered with my job to Oakland, California where I spent 3 years. The entire time I experienced only one slight earthquake which occured the same day Princess Diana was in that horrible car accident. Been living on the east coast since 1998 but still have many friends in California who I worry about because of the quake threat.

    6.3 in New Zealand 🇳🇿, absolutely destroyed a modern first world city called Christchurch. It’s shocking how much damage each small increase in Magnitude causes, a couple of years later I was in the Capital city Wellington and there was a 6.9 just south. I was in one of the tallest buildings in the city working on lever 18 or so, and I cannot describe the sound that high rise buildings make when they rock back and forward and slam into each other. People screaming, dust coming down from the ceilings, look out to the window and see the bright, clear blue sky filled with hundreds of thousands of birds flying in panic, lights flickering, and everyone under their desks with water bottles and phones… screaming. Absolutely terrifying, I will never forget it. Thank goodness for our building codes.

As a native SoCal resident, I thought for about 10 seconds that it might be "The Big One", as it kept intensifying as the seconds rolled by, house felt as if it was on a lake rocking back and forth. Northridge at the same location was stronger, quickly hit hard but did not intensify as much as Whittier. I think the foothills between me and the epicenter dampened the intensity on that one, plus a little further away. Thanks for this!

    Skyscrapers and other tall buildings (even ones under construction) won't crumble. Japan in 2011 went through a 9.0 and several minutes of shaking, only the smaller buildings suffered severe damage and LA's building codes are similar. The viaduct would not collapse in anything less than a 7.5. Even pre-earthquake retrofitted LA experienced a 6.7 in 1994 with only a few isolated bridge collapses in the northern part of the metroplex.

    I've experienced all major quakes in Los Angeles in the last 53 years. The first was Slymar (I was an infant, but my mother said I was pretty affected), the second one of note was October 1987, the Whittier quake registered 7.1 but didn't feel like that. And the last and biggest one was Jan 17 1994 Northridge Earthquake. It was a late night for me coming back from a gig, and I just got off the 10 freeway at Fairfax northbound, only 15 minutes before the world shook. Craziest quake ever.

    I was less than a mile away from the Northridge Earthquake. I still remember it very clearly. The 16 deaths in the Northridge Meadows Apts were the majority of the death, with the 17th death being a Highway Patrolman who was riding the 5/14 interchange when it collapsed. I do also appreciate that you acknowledged the limits of the San Andreas Fault system.. too many people talk about a 9.0+ earthquake to 'sink' the west coast, when the only part of the fault that could achieve that magnitude would be in Washington/Oregon.

    Earthquake scientist here. Great video, but a few caveats I've noticed. Los Angeles is in a basin, which will amplify seismic waves and trap them, making shaking more prolonged and at a higher intensity. Also, the duration of your quakes do not scale. A 5.0 lasts about 4-5 seconds. A 6 around 20 seconds. A 7 around 1-2 minutes. A 7.5 around 2-3 minutes. An 8 around 4 minutes. The San Andreas Fault in SoCal has the potential to produce up to an 8.3 if it ruptures 400 miles from the Salton Sea to Parkfield.

    • @EarthquakeSim
      @EarthquakeSim  4 месяца назад +2

      Hi! I am so happy to have more earthquake scientists on my channel so that we can all improve my content!! Every earthquake has its own variables and you are right about the scale. If you are in a larger building with many floors, a magntiude 5 earthquake could be felt for longer since the building gains momentum during the shaking. Also, I think the magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest was only felt for about 20 seconds, relatively short for its magnitude. For the LA basin any quake would last longer since as you mentioned, the sediments amplify and trap the waves like a bathtub. Where are you from? :)

I had a dream that I was in a free fall and shooting a machine gun. I woke up, then my mom came in and asked if I felt it?

    Im curious if you used the same depth for each earthquake?
    Im also curious about the integrity of certain materials. There were freeway collapses during the Northridge earthquake but not quite so catastrophic as what happens in the simulation of the 6.5.
    I certainly hope that LA freeway infrastructure is built to withstand at least that magnitude of shaking given the probability of a magnitude 6 or greater earthquake in the greater LA area is essentially guaranteed within the next few decades.
    I dont live too far from the Newport - Inglewood fault, and it has me more concerned than the San Andreas given it passes through very dense neighborhoods and has close proximity to several major freeway overpasses including the massive 105-110 interchange.

    The strongest earthquake I've ever experienced was the 2010 earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 8.8. This event involved the collapse of a 15 floor tower, a bridge fell down, and multiple buildings became severely danaged in my hometown and multiple casualties on coastal towns due to a tsunami. However, the seismic culture in the country has ingrained disaster prevention in people's minds, and Chile has experienced multiple earthquakes over 8 in magnitude in the last 14 years. These have been quite strong, and have resulted in very few deaths thanks to the good earthquake-resistant constructions.
