Sound of an earthquake

pwhodges:
For those of us who have never experienced an earthquake, here is a clip from an organ recording that was being made in a wooden church in New Zealand when a 7.0 quake occurred about 100 miles away:

Post describing the experience

Dollface:
I wish i experience earthquake someday.

Akima:
Proof that playing the organ causes earthquakes... Post hoc ergo propter hoc...  :-D

I went to California for a conference earlier this year, and surprisingly there were no earthquakes. I have experienced earthquakes in Oklahoma, though. The first one felt like the strip mine blasting that I grew up around in the Appalachians. The biggest one, a 5.6, was large enough to cause part of the ceiling in the room in the university's physics building where its pendulum is to collapse, knocking the pendulum off its tether.

Sorflakne:
I lived in California for three years and experienced only one earthquake :(

The rocket launches caused more (and more impressive) ground tremors.
