ShakeOut Scenario Videos
These movies show the velocity of ground motion as the ShakeOut Scenario earthquake ruptures the San Andreas Fault and shakes the region.
Three ShakeOut Scenario simulations were developed by the Southern California Earthquake Center Simulation workgroup. When estimating casualties and damage, the Scenario used the simulation performed on supercomputers at USC, using computer code by Rob Graves of URS Corporation. The movies labeled “URS” show the Graves simulation in Quicktime and Windows Media formats. In the “Realtime” versions, one second of movie equals one second of earthquake. In every movie, a time counter in lower left corner counts the seconds that elapse after the earthquake starts. Visualizations by Geoff Ely.
