With everyone working from home in quarantine, many people have been using Zoom and other video conferencing technology to stay connected during such uncertain times.
In the clip below, a group of coworkers are having a Zoom business meeting when, suddenly, the computer screen starts violently shaking.
The woman on screen starts screaming out and jumps up from her computer, then disappears from the frame.
At first, she thought it was an avalanche control mechanism coming from the ski mountain near her home — but then she realized that the mountain was closed because of the pandemic.
She finally figured out that it was an earthquake shaking her studio’s foundation. She says it sounded like a “freight train rumbling through my house.”
The next 20 to 30 seconds were pretty terrifying.
“It felt like my studio lights above might fall from the ceiling, so I ran out of my studio to find my son and go find cover, then it subsided.”
Experts say this could be Idaho’s second-strongest earthquake ever, and the largest in the state since 1983.
See the quake unfold in real-time in the clip below.
