On March 28th, 2025, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck Myanmar, causing a rupture in about 460 kilometers (290 miles) of the Sagaing fault line that runs through most of the country, causing shaking of at least intensity X on the Modified Mercalli scale.

As heavy shaking was felt throughout much of Myanmar as well as other neighboring countries, the fault line moved side-to-side by as much 6 meters (20 feet) in some places, a movement which was captured by the camera in this video.

This is the first (and currently only) known instance of a fault line motion being captured on camera.

Never experienced an earthquake. Don't want to.

Never experienced an earthquake. Don't want to.

I slept through one in WA back in ‘19. Woke to my wife calling me to ask if I was okay at 0400 PDT (it was 0700 at home). I asked her why wouldn’t I be and she said there was an earthquake where I was. I turned on the TV and they were talking about it. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known. I certainly would never want to be near a major one.

Had a pretty good one at my old place in Montana. Went on for a long time, it got really windy which I thought was weird. Sounded like a rockslide coming down the hill. Then aftershocks all night. My dog was super freaked out.

I completely didn't notice the big one in the bay around 89 or whenever it was. I was just driving and everyone stopped and we're honking their horns. Didn't know what happened at all til I got home.

Why do they call people quakers?

 

[MountainMedic]

Cause of the way they pranced around at church

Was the ‘89 one the one that happened during a baseball game? I remember seeing video of that one.

That's the one. I was living in Sacramento. Apparently everyone felt it but me, lol.

Wasn't that like a 4 or something?

That's not true.
It's because they made & ate a lot of oatmeal, founded by Heimdall Loki IV.

That's awesome

Yeah, it was. Might have even been a 3.x. I don’t remember specifically. It was also felt more a bit north of where I was at the time, and happened at like 0200 local time so a lot of people only knew about it the next morning. When I got to work I was asking people about it and nobody knew who hadn’t learned of via TV, radio, social media, etc.

They "quake" in the presence of God.

I was in bed and felt a little tiny rumble.
Where were you at?

 

[sparkuri]

I was a new dad in 2001 when the nisqually earthquake hit ,7.0.
That was pretty cool.
My baby was on the floor and the first thing I did was run over to grab..... The stereo off-the-shelf.

Centralia. I was there on a work trip opening a new facility for my former employer.

It’s a bizarre experience. Different kinds have different “feels” as well. First one, lasted about a minute and the ground literally moved under me like waves. The solid ground looked like waves moving through it. When that ended, the ground rocked back and forth like you were standing on a floating dock.

Second one just felt like a giant slammed into the side of my house and shifted it. Whole thing was about half a second.

You realize how unstable your physical world really is. Everything feels static and permanent in day-to-day life, but an earthquake makes understand we’re just floating around on vulnerable dirt plates in oceans of lava.

It sort of reminds me of how I see water. One time I walked out onto an Army pier on Lake Superior during a massive storm out there. Guys were surfing the lake no bullshit, never knew that was a thing. Anyway, I am trying to time the waves running dry spot to dry spot. I miscalculated. I figure foured the cable barrier fence thing and sunk in a rear naked on the cable above that one and was hit with a wall of water that I cannot believe didnt knock me clean out. I had water literally up my ass.

When I looked out into that inky blue abyss and saw that wave coming, idk, probably similar to that earthquake in a way in that seeing what nature can produce is an intense experience. We are soft creatures with limited real survival capabilities and lucky to draw breath every morning.

Fast moving fire makes me feel the same way... very small and insignificant.

Fire is my biggest elemental fear. I can handle water. I think I would handle an earthquake better than fire. I dont want to be cooked to death at all man.
