Me (your neighbor)! What are the odds of that? I've been watching a bunch of Dutchsinse's videos. You probably saw me post that on my Timeline yesterday!
Yup me! I live in west valley city, right next to magna where it all went down. I was shaken awake and my first half-asleep self thought it was a meteorite that hit close-by 😭
I love how Utah educational videos still feel the need to make a selling point and point out the "spectacular panoramic views". I know it's beautiful goddamnit!!!
It may be 15 years old, but this is a very well done video! 👍 I'd like to see it redone, in the same style but with updated maps and just a few more mentions of the buildings that HAVE been prepared for earthquakes since this video was made. 🤔 (I'm sure there's a few more factoids that could be shared that regular people like me don't know about)
This was my 2nd earthquake video after the quake! I dont think I would have been here had we had the Wasatch fault slipping. I would have been one of those 100k people that dies from living in those older houses. 😥
I love how cheery and not at all ominous sounding the music is. It's especially charming when she talks about how there's risks anywhere you live and so don't be scared to live in Utah. 🤣🤣
After that 5.7 quake we had this week. All these aftershocks got myself and my little girls paranoid, so we came here to see exactly how far our Wasatch fault expands.. So Fascinating learning new things that affect us on a day to day basis.
Dear Utah Geologic Survey, please call the California Geologic Survey office that oversees the inland/palm desert area and tell them to make a video with this level of detail. Please? Signed, a person on shaky ground between two giant granite mountains.
I live and go to school litteraly on top of the salt lake city fault part, it runs directly under my school, and a small branch runs under my driveway, and is slowly shiftinv
@XxMarkxX007 Hi. Sorry no one answered you. I would think that you might feel a mild bump, if that. There would be no damage in Worland, even if SLC was severely damaged. If you live on solid rock you are probably more likely to feel the shockwave, but it wouldn't feel like much.
About time someone does a good video about Utah! Utah is a beautiful place and my residence state for most of my life! Utah needs more credit than it gets.
Why all development goes North and South along the fault while the west side is highly undeveloped? People want to see development near the "majestic mountains" and when they weigh in their risk, they prefer to live along the fault and take their chances. The "majestic mountain" is really tied to home prices and segregate the west from the east. If we want to reduce risk, more development should occur on the west side. And, in the process, we might also tackle income, (racial and ethnic) segregation in the Salt Lake Valley.
Maybe. The western United States tends to have bedrock that is resistant to transmitting seismic waves-the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was felt in central Nevada. In contrast, the eastern US transmits waves very well-an earthquake in New Madrid, Missouri in 1812 was felt in Boston, over 1,000 miles away. If you did feel it, it wouldn't be strong enough to do anything.
Michael Smith when the pioneers came to Utah, they didn’t know there was a fault right there, and that’s just where they happened to settle. A lot of buildings though are built to prevent earthquake damage.
I'm sure when the pioneers finally crossed the great plains AND Rocky mountains just to escape violent persecution for their beliefs they took a good gander at the valley and thought "Ya this isn't going to work because It's an active fault zone... see, check out this RUclips video."
Know how and where to turn off your gas mains and electrical entrances. Have plenty of water (1 gallon per person per day) and food to survive at least a week, more is better in case the power grid is destroyed. Make sure the food you stock doesn't require refrigeration. Have food and water for your pets, as well as a means to dispose of their wastes. Have plenty of blankets and other means to stay warm in case it's a winter quake (like propane bottles and propane heaters, along with propane stoves you can cook on). If cell phone towers are without power, your phone won't work, so don't rely on it to save you. Have lots of First Aid and any other medical necessities you might need, such as insulin for diabetics. All this and a good, well-stocked wet bar in a shatter-proof location, and you're all set! Enjoy your catastrophe!
I just moved here and had no idea it was such an active area. I’m an east coast transplant, I’m used to predictable stuff like hurricanes that I can outrun. This earthquake stuff is for the birds. We will see how long I last. 😆
Are you still on Utah or did you skip town before this giant 7 magnitude Wasatch fault went off on us? I hope I can get out before I have to try to survive through that hell.
@@dizy_strike6943 Yeah IMO that lil 5.7 last March was just a reminder of the beast underneath and how devastating a larger 8.0+ magnitude earthquake can be if the epicenter is anywhere along the Wasatch Front. No fear mongering here is trying to encourage all those who live here to #BePrepared and have a game-plan establish. #8014Life
This gives me anxiety and makes me scared at time. Thanks for posting this educational video. What is the best way to minimize our risk living in the Salt Lake Valley? Any ideas. I guess I'll have to retro fit my house before this quake hits or buy something newer that was built with new earthquake proof building codes.
Besides doing expensive retrofitting to your property, here's a video on what to do in general. It's about the Cascadia subduction zone in Oregon and Washington, but the general earthquake preparedness is the same, excepting the tsunami readiness material. (If you get a tsunami in Salt Lake City, it's either from the Great Salt Lake, or we're all totally screwed.) ruclips.net/video/nZs4yCyxyFk/видео.html
@@toughenupfluffy7294 Hey I saw that one! 😃 I don't know if you'll get a notification for your comment a year after you posted it, but here's another couple good videos on the Cascadia faultline 🌎 • ruclips.net/video/JR-8PZ_nCvE/видео.html • ruclips.net/video/76b_WGzCI54/видео.html
That would explain why we even have a fault line there. Like snapping a hard biscuit, or dry bread the weak points, and the pressure create a shape that looks like a fault line, right? Like they said, " it's not no a plate boundary " . The rest of it is hard dense rock!
When the sleeping giant decides to wake up hold on for your life you think lagoon rides are screamable the earth ride will be worse you will wish you were on a ride instead i keep praying for no quakes.
Yeah yeah yeah how are used to be hot mineral water where they used to have the Rocky Point haunted house I wonder whatever happened to all the hot mineral water is the earth Cooling the inner yoke of the earth is always shifting and moving
Just so everyone is aware, there is going to be a really big earthquake on the 24th or 25th of october. If you don't think so, that's ok, but if this really does happen, get back to me, and I'll tell you what comes next.
Who's here after the March 18, 2020 quake?
Me (your neighbor)! What are the odds of that? I've been watching a bunch of Dutchsinse's videos. You probably saw me post that on my Timeline yesterday!

Still feeling tremors the last few nights

“6.5 to 7.5” bitch I’m packing my bags
Ive never had so much fun learning about scary stuff!
Scared the pants right off of me!
About time someone does a good video about Utah! Utah is a beautiful place and my residence state for most of my life! Utah needs more credit than it gets.
Grew up around 39th south and Wasatch blvd back in the 60's and 70's... never felt so much as a jiggle.
Watching this video 2-15-19 after the M3.7 woke me up and scared the crap out of everyone in the house.
How was the 5.7 from this morning?
@@moistheathen148 I felt it, it scared me
only thing i grabbed was the minecraft disk from the ps4 lmao

The valley will mudflood

The narrator sort of made me have Ratchet and Clank flashbacks, with the sassy, funny intercom voice.
hahahahahaha man i love this narrator and whoever picked the music
so heres my question... who's smart idea was it to put major buildings like power and railroads etc... on the wasatch front?????
Michael Smith when the pioneers came to Utah, they didn’t know there was a fault right there, and that’s just where they happened to settle. A lot of buildings though are built to prevent earthquake damage.
they put a park ON a faut bruh
I'm sure when the pioneers finally crossed the great plains AND Rocky mountains just to escape violent persecution for their beliefs they took a good gander at the valley and thought "Ya this isn't going to work because It's an active fault zone... see, check out this RUclips video."
This is Mormon land. Make poor choices and pray for change later when it's too late.
Jesus the production on this cracks me up. Creepy background music, overly joyful narrator. lol

The big one in Utah is coming April 4, 2020. It will be around 9.0. My wee-gee board said so.
How is anyone gonna believe someone who cant even say Ouija board
I'll remember this comment when April 4th, 2020 rolls around.
We're experiencing a lot of small earthquakes in Utah in the past month or so.
Its impossible to predict earthquakes exactly plus a 9.0 is impossible in Utah
@@cosmicgoatslap You ready? We just had one this morning 😂
@@theeeddboyy6020 I know!! That was the first one I've ever felt in my life. I was at a stoplight and I just thought my car was running poorly
Yeah an earthquake happened today.
Wasatch fault has been moving a lot over the past 3 weeks.. could be about that time.
How can you tell ita been moving over the past few weeks or anytime really? Is there a movement chart somewhere?
Yeah yeah yeah how are used to be hot mineral water where they used to have the Rocky Point haunted house I wonder whatever happened to all the hot mineral water is the earth Cooling the inner yoke of the earth is always shifting and moving

Be ready to hold on for the WILDEST ride of your life!
It is just a matter for TIME
a little something to brighten my day.
very nicely done!
When the Salt Lake segment goes, it will be similar to the catastrophe in Turkey last winter
@UrKnightMar3
That is like asking why the Indians built houses so far from lake Powell.
Great video for educational purposes but what is going on with the music? It’s some of the most unsettling music ever haha.
oh yeah east high... my grandma went there but i moved to wisconsin and if i didnt i whould of went to timpview...
Normal faulting, headwall down, tension is normal.
Reverse faulting, headwall up, compression is reverse.
Ah yes, very high quality video 🥰😍😘
high quality you say
480p you say
I live so close to the Salt Lake Segment. Rose Park. Salt Lake Center for Science Education still hasn't been upgraded for earthquakes.
Utah Wassup 5.7
Yay I live on 86th and state... so... basically I’m dead.
Unless you move to a good state
Did u feel it haha.
Interesting video. Thanks.
I'm so scared of earth quakes yet I love right next to a big fault :(
Live*
I wanna build a city but as soon I learn there is earthquakes in Utah
I wanna build my city on the midsouth of Utah
@bramblebraeusa That was the U of U coeds walking by, not the fault.
lol do you go to timpview???
Just had a 5.7 today
STLCardinals for real it was nuts!! Woke me up so quick
Milo Schee Me too! Scared me
The ominous music and script don't match up with the cheesy gung-ho narration. Would be better to go with something more serious.
2:13 theres an alien
Also im in da saltlake city segment
RIP to u. Mormon earthquake is coming
Just so everyone is aware, there is going to be a really big earthquake on the 24th or 25th of october. If you don't think so, that's ok, but if this really does happen, get back to me, and I'll tell you what comes next.
Ryan Kimball more like this year, early spring... 👀⏳
We Need Make a Paln to help
The music is so ominous
that is true I didn't think about that a year ago and still didn't think about that today lol
Be nice Weber fault. Please.
You said that a year ago, and Utah and it's land has never seen earthquakes for thousands of years, what makes you think it will just happen?
I just felt one.. no THREE.. it’s coming
no, they said one part happened every 300 yrs you missed it, and it's been 500, so yea we're due
I am 78 and I have lived through at least six earthquakes.
Why not use Patrick's idea from that Spongebob episode of The Giant Worm. Lets move Salt Lake City and put it in Tooele.
Aaron Gonzalez Great idea
Well here we are after a 5.7
Interesting video. The female doing the VO needs to work on her approach and tone as she sounds like she just graduated from broadcasting school.
I do like the nearly creepy music. Drama
my cousins house is right under the fault
EAGLE MONTAIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Im only flippin 12 yrs old almost 13
Most of the rich greedy people with huge houses live on or near the fault... They have it coming to them. LOL
