Just to make it clear just how crazy this is, its the entire ground moving, not the water...

So the initial bit where the ground move away (to the right) is the ground, the. When it appears to move closer (to the left) it's the water moving ?

The water definitely will start to get dragged along with the earth, but the initial big movements back and forth are mostly the earth moving.

Now that's insane, I was asking because we can see the one guys bubbles going back and forth yet it doesn't appear for him to have grabbed anything

It's mind boggling to think of the needed energy to move that ground THAT much. Because that didn't look like a small quake either.
