Yeh! I watched this weeks ago and missed all but the motion on the right. Keep an eye on the right side of that building across the road - yowsah!

My stupid brain was focusing on the driveway in front of the camera and was confused at how this video was anything important. Then I finally noticed it behind the fence on the right. It’s almost terrifying. The whole ground moves several feet it looks like. Jesus Christ.

Here’s an annotated video by one of the Authors of the paper this article references that helped me understand what was going on here.

Maybe it’s just me or maybe you forgot to link the video?

What an amazing video! The energy that’s set free there is incredible.
Must feel nice for mother earth to stretch and feel relieved afterwards

2.5 meters (8.5 feet)! Not only that, watch further in the distance past the posts and the potted plant: As the rupture progresses, the entire surface dips slightly and then rises in an almost whip-like fashion.
Crazy to consider: What if you were, within 1.3 seconds, moved 2.5 meters to your left right now?

An even wilder thought experiment: what if your left leg was in one side of the fault and your right leg was on the other?
