    Fun video. Awesome that he provided his workflow as well as the code on GitHub as well.

    For anyone wanting to know what a big one sounds like for real:

    • First you’ll notice everything gets quiet (bugs, animals, etc).
    • Second, dogs/coyotes/wolves all around will start barking simultaneously.
    • Third, a low but strong and deep rumbling can be heard in the distance.
    • Fourth, the rumbling increases until it hits you and then you hear everything falling to the ground: dishes flying out of their cabinets, books falling from shelves, decorations tumbling to the ground, the house creaking and groaning, or the earthquake-resistant devices at the base of a large structure will snap/bang if they haven’t been stressed to this degree in a long time and have grown rusty.
    • Fifth, the rumbling slowly subsides.

      I was in Mexico many years ago, sleeping in Mexico City where people told me the next day one had gone off. Never awoke from my sleep. Completely slept through it. It left a big crack down the side of a huge commercial building a few miles away and they had to find an alternative work site.
