Earthquakes


As you probably know, the U.K. had an earthquake of 4.8 and while not that strong, I'm sure it was scary nonetheless. The strongest they've ever had is a 6.1 and that was in 1931. 

Now, if you know me, you know that I'm terrified of natural disasters. Having said that, I found a video showing earthquakes as they happened and of course, I'm more freaked out now than ever! Yes, I'm a dumb-ass.

For you Seattle-ites, here's a simulation of the 520 bridge during an earthquake, assuming it were to not withstand it. Two words: holy shit.
