Shaking videos

Seismic intensity is defined by what shaking does: people run outdoors, shelves empty, buildings crack. These clips show those effects as cameras recorded them, each rated from the effects our reviewer saw. Read across a row to see one level in different places; read down a column to see the same kind of place shaken harder and harder.

– means no clip yet: footage wanted. A clip can count in several settings, so the setting totals add up to more than 38. Settings are assigned from each clip's description and the effects our reviewer recorded.
