A compilation of clips from the local TV newscasts as a magnitude 4.0 earthquake strikes near Piedmont, in the San Francisco Bay Area, at 6:49am on Monday, August 17, 2015.
@@melonbals5512 not even close to how it works, the '89 Loma Prieta earthquake was 7.2 but the ground only shook for 15 seconds. The strength has to do with magnitude and depth, nothing at all to do with duration.
When an earthquake hits a studio during the weatherman's report, most of them would go like "Wow that's a pretty good shaking right there" and continues with the weather lol. The news folks however would go like "Uh-oh let's hide!"
@@jairtzinio Well it depends for some people. Some people are scared whenever the Ground shakes, Strong, or Weak. A Professional reporter shouldn’t really panic in any Occasions. I watched a Video of Reporters in in the Middle of Tornado or Hurricane? They evacuated Calmly.
Honestly a 4.0 earthquake isn’t a big deal... ask anyone who has lived in Japan or Chile. The problem is that in most places the buildings aren’t built very well, that’s why a 4.0 quake can have news reporters a bit jittery.
I can usually tell the size and location but the feel, shake and direction. Not often wrong. The last good one I felt in SF was the 2014 Napa earthquake, which was a 6.0. FUN
I remember that! I lived in downtown Oakland at the time. I remember it had been warm that whole weekend and it was hot in my apartment and I slept in my birthday suit. I had just woke up and I sat up in my bed and heard the glasses in my kitchen rattling. I thought I was gonna have to run outside wrapped in a sheet😂😂😂. Fortunately it stopped like 5 seconds later .
Yes. It's pretty amazing how quickly the USGS can get the seismograph data together and figure out the approximate epicenter. And most TV stations in California have a link that they can go to to pull up the information. Heck, I've got an app on my phone that will let me know if there's been an earthquake that's going to cause substantial shaking where I am. The amount of warning I get depends on how far away the quake is, but the couple of times it's gone off I've had 10-15 seconds. Which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's enough to get ready to take action if I need to.
01:03 I am sorry I cannot remember his name. That black man is a great broadcaster and we miss his friendliness and professionalism down here in Los Angeles. He was always in a great mood and we always looked forward to the nightly newscasts from him. He brightened our day. Enjoy that man!!! He is the best.
Yeah, continue with that very exciting forecast for San Fran-zzzzzzzzz Wow, I just passed out. Do they really even need weather forcasters in California?
Just viewing this video and I know its long past. Uh - what do I say? - Anchors who are swallowing their tongues with indecision of text. How did you make it to the Anchor desk, especially on this topic in the Bay area?
I remember in 2015 was my first earthquake, im 12 now, and um at age of 8 was the first ever earthquake i ever felt! I was so scared. And 1 month ago i also felt a earthquake. But i was asleep and my dad screamed and he woke me up!
I was born in Cali(moved away at age 9) and there was this one earthquake... It was tiny at first so we thought nothing of it as it went on it got bigger so mom came, took me, and went to the door(speed walking) and as soon as she put her hand on the handle it stopped... It wasn't very long, we also had one on Easter my dad had to pull me out of the house cause I was ignoring it and coloring in my book under a table l, when I stepped outside cars were shaking and going back and forth and side to side The most recent one was a week before Christmas break me and my mom were visiting California and I was home alone while her, her friend, and my brother went to the store.. While laying down relaxing alone I felt a vibration, I thought it was the people above us(we were in a apartment complex) and when they got home I looked up recent tornados in California a lot of 1. Somethings popped up and 3. Somethings and when they got home we had another one and another big one, I wasn't scared at all lmao, even when I was younger(after I experienced 5 I got used to it)
Yeah i expierienced like i expirenced 6 and i still get scared when theres a earthquake. I will get use to it but its just feels weird and the vibration and bumping sounds sound so dramatic as heck. I feel like..... i cant explain but the sounds and the feelings of an earthquake sound so damn scary. It sounds like a giant dinosau3trying to kill me, im a chicken you know so i get scared alot lol.
Because sometimes I think so dramatic it feels scary and the rattling sounds of an earthquake scare me more. But this earthquake in 2015. I was just 8 lol and I was scared as heck I screamed heck loud.
Not to be ghoulish here, but I think the point of good earthquake footage is to actually see some shaking and stuff falling, and not just a bunch newscasters make funny faces and go "whoa, did ya' feel that". No, we viewers didn't feel it, we needed to see it.
Lmao. 4.0 is barely anything. I’m from the Bay Area and this embarrasses me. I was living there in ‘89 with the 6.9. I was 11 and that was a good shaker, but then 3yrs later I was living in Humboldt when we had a 7.2. Now that felt huge compared to the 6.9 in ‘89. There just aren’t a lot of big buildings up there so there wasn’t damage like there was in ‘89. Hell, we had a 7.1 in Ridgecrest about 3hrs away from me last year and that shook harder than the ‘89 quake, but again, happened in a rural area. Still can’t believe those newscasters screaming this is a big one over a 4.0 😂
Wow they kinda overreact to magnitude 4.0 quake, here in England whenever we get a 4.0 quake and a little above it's hardly breaking news unless when they go over magnitude 5 !
