Earthquake “caught on tape”
January 10, 2010 @ 8:46 am by NobleThere are noble lies and then there are straight up lies. This may be one of the latter.
This video is supposed to have been taken during yesterday’s 6.5 Eureka earthquake. It’s not, as many of the video’s commenters point out. It’s not a matter of debating how realistic it looks and sounds. The girl states she is in “Hollister, CA” which is out by Santa Cruz. The earthquake was reported by a few people in Santa Cruz… as a magnitude 3. A magnitude 3 earthquake could not shake a house that roughly.
It might be a case of mistaken identity, real footage from a different earthquake some previous time. The YouTube poster appears to be from France.

The best video I have seen so far is the Arcata COOP footage found
on the KHUM website. “Feets don’t fail me now!” LOL.
have a peaceful day,

I was busy getting a lot of these clips individually when I found this one. They did a good job, this compilation includes the Times-Standard footage, the Arcata Co-Op footage and more.
Here it is:

It doesn’t include this footage however so I’ll add it:
