Personally, I’ve never experienced an earthquake. I’ve only been in parts of the world where they occur for maybe a cumulative two weeks of my life, and have yet to catch one.

They seem both terrifying and routine for a lot of people, like in this video from TikTok user @melodyxgreen:

“San Diego Earthquake, 4/14/25” reads the caption.

“Crazy sounds of a 5.7 earthquake today in San Diego,” it says in the video description.

Sure enough, you can hear a lot of commotion, and see someone running with their dog to seek shelter, but the car just sits peacefully in the driveway.

Was this a Chevy ad?

Hope the runners are ok!

Don’t be fooled, the earth done shaked.

These definitely freak people out.

Or maybe it was a passing wind?

Stay safe out there!
