For you Colorado folk especially...
(the use of AI for some of the images is blech, and the dialogue is OK-ish - but fascinating and engaging for everyone, engineering geology and construction!)

[The area has suffered two historic landslides, in 1790 and 1997. Trying to comprehend the SCALE of this 2026 event is difficult, but the inline video in the 3rd (media) link does give an indication.]

[This is ‘unusual’ seismic activity and shaking patterns for this part of the USA, on an ‘unmapped’ fault, and seemingly challenging existing models of earthquake risk in the region; while a 4.8 is not big, it must have been quite a surprise for the people in this heavily populated U.S. Northeast not used to such things (per the paper, the USGS estimated it was felt by some 42 million people.]
