Sorry to burst everyone's bubble... but if you look at the source video you can see that a large neighborhood loses power. Looks like it is just power lines go

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble... but if you look at the source video you can see that a large neighborhood loses power. Looks like it is just power lines going down or transformers blowing. https://twitter.com/Eyaaaad/status/1700621598456234148 https://twitter.com/Eyaaaad/status/1700621598456234148

You bursted very few bubbles. Most people here would have already guessed the “blue lights” were just transformers.

  I'm going to be honest... I was slightly concerned with the amount of people who seemed to think it was legit.

    I mean,i still wonder whats up with the other examples people have linked. There were no electrical transformers 1100 years ago.

      Just piezoelectric effect.

Oh, sure, give us the boring, mundane explanation that makes sense. What's next? Claiming that sprites, and elves (and probably even Steve) aren't real either? /s

Scrolling with the scrubber makes it extremely obvious

During the Loma Prieta quake I heard about it on the radio (I was driving) before it arrived .... light from electrical discharges is always going to arrive before the shockwave so the 'before' part is not at all surprising. The cause of course could easily be from the electricity distribution infrastructure, or from some piezo/etc effect from the earth moving - it's likely not presaging the quake itself

Compare to a known transformer explosion in NYC: <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=nMcFOfouVk4 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=nMcFOfouVk4> Earthquake P waves travel at roughly 10,000 kph (6,700 mph), and will take about 9 seconds to travel 50 km (30 miles), a typical distance to the horizon. During an earthquake, transformers may be disrupted over a wide region, and will be seen as precursor lights from regions further from the epicenter. Despite that, they're a human and technological phenomenon, not a natural and geological one.

It does look rather like the incident in NYC https://youtu.be/OHoQguzMJBQ?t=12 https://youtu.be/OHoQguzMJBQ?t=12
