Nepal Earthquake - Visible Lateral Ground Movement

7.8 Magnitude This ground movement is somewhat spectacular to witness, as far as how much energy was released to move Everything like that, and for how many miles in a wide area. The initial movement occurs around the 1:27 mark. Full Screen is Best. If I had to guess the distance between the camera location and those brown colored buildings, I would say /- 1/2 mile maybe. You have to disregard the camera shaking and focus on the light brown background buildings in relation to the row of grey buildings on the right side of the street furthest from the camera. At approximately 1:45 the buildings in the background move left and then right a couple times. You will have to put your expectations of how “Hollywood“ would make it appear, aside. Focus on the two areas to see opposite movement of said buildings top left. .
