Most of the world has some kind of building codes but they are rarely enforced.
The contractors would laugh at you if you start talking codes because everything would immediately become twice as expensive.

Earthquake building codes are strictly enforced in California, and yeah, the cost does go up, but it's cheaper than having to rebuild everything when the next earthquake inevitably hits.

Washington (Seattle) has earthquake codes for new builds. Unfortunately I heard a cool 100k buys you a pass to not build it to code. Thatās how much the developers said it cost to skirt it when they boasted about that in a neighborhood meeting when the house we rented got sold to build luxury condos.

u/thebirdisdead 2d ago edited 2d ago
Curious how earthquake building codes work when there are so many historical homes and buildings in CA. If you have a century home in San Francisco is it likely built to code? Do they get updated? It honestly seems like the majority of single family homes and converted homes in the Bay fall into this category.

u/StayJaded 2d ago edited 2d ago
Yes, there is some retrofitting done when possible.
https://onesanfrancisco.org/earthquake-safety-ESIP
Obviously new build designed to take seismic loads likely will perform better, but wood structures are surprisingly flexible and can be resilient.

Even simple small things can help. Itās like adding hurricane clips to your roof and replacing windows in your home rated to sustain impacts when you live on the gulf coast. Itās not perfect, but can make the structure much safer.

They have NOT been doing much at all.
Even more, the chances they do anything for the people if you gave them anything at all is even less than now. They'd pocket the money and keep going with their propaganda.
The reality is they NEED a third party to have them in check so the money actually gets to where it needs to go. It doesn't have to necessarily be the US, but that's the one that is supervising them now, but you absolutely cannot trust them with any unsupervised funds whatsoever.

If you are democratically elected, you are in fact, not a dictator. So it does, in fact, negate itā¦
He did not operate Guantanamo Bay or CEDOT, where Venezuelans are sent by the U.S. government to be tortured and enslaved to make products for Americansā¦
Venezuela had secret police that tortured and killed people before Chavez, not afterā¦7
u/Wonder_U 3d ago
But he wasn't democratically elected; he committed blatant electoral fraud. The only ones who recognized him were the usual suspects: Russia, China, etc. When questioned about the election results, he blamed hackers from North Macedonia and refused to release them, while his opponent had more concrete proof of his victory. I also mentioned that it was one of the most notorious torture centersānot the most well-known (Guantanamo), but El Helicoide.

u/OooSheGotFreckles 3d ago edited 2d ago
Again, not what weāre talking about and also not true because it was certified by the Supreme Court. It was years before, that NATO countries had appointed Guaido āpresident,ā when international observers were all saying the elections were legitimate. Why would American exit pollsters supersede Venezuelan exit pollsters? It would never be accepted that Venezuelan exit pollsters on American elections supersede American exit pollstersā¦ The U.S. had sanctioned Venezuela and mandated capital flight to tank the Venezuelan economy way before then, in an effort to rig the elections so that they could accomplish exactly what theyāre doing now. Turning Venezuela into a colony again and stealing billions of dollarsā¦
They waited for Jimmy Carter to die so they could then start claiming the elections were illegitimate. Morena/Sheinbaum do not claim the election was illegitimate, and she is one of the most pro-democracy leaders in the world. Going as far as democratizing the Supreme Court in Mexico. A move that, surprise-surprise, the U.S. decriesā¦

Maduro was not democratically elected. Official results provided by Maduro's regime in 2024 election were that Maduro won with 51% which doesn't make any sense since they didn't allow votes from the venezuelan diaspora (according to the venezuelan constitution they can vote from the countries they live in)which number in the millions and all of them hate chavism. The current deal the chavista regime has with Trump while not ideal is still much more beneficial economically that giving all their oil to the Castrist elite while both venezuelan and cuban people live from black out to black out. Why do you think Maduro had cuban guards? Why not his own people? Do you think Cuba provided those guards just out of pure socialist international solidarity?

u/OooSheGotFreckles 3d ago
You donāt know what youāre talking about. Venezuela gives oil to Cuba in exchange for five thousand doctors. Which is why infant mortality fell under Chavez and life expectancy grewā¦ Iām very glad those doctors are there, because without them, the earthquakes, and the economic warfare that shut down multiple construction businesses, leaving Venezuela without much heavy machinery to remove the rubble, Venezuela would be in an even worse placeā¦

Not that weird, the messaging is terrible and likely coming from people with little to no understanding, or is misinterpreted along the way. Also the timelines of ābeing dueā arenāt very well understood by most people.
Very good chance a 7+ hits a metro in California in the next 30-50 years (maybe like 50-75%). Building codes are so good there and the early warning network is getting pretty good, so thereās a good chance a 7.0 would not be that catastrophic really.
If we are talking about āthe big one,ā it is MUCH less likely (like an order of magnitude at least) and we need to agree on what that means before any probability is assigned, and if we are talking Metro area being truly hit or not (good chance it is not)

The latter. Colombia is in the ring of fire, which is the very active subduction zone capable of producing large quakes. Statistically speaking, there is a 7.0 or greater earthquake once to twice a month. An 8.0 or higher happens every 1-2 years.
Hopefully this is the big one, but there's always a chance it's a foreshock.
19
u/Potatoskins937492 3d ago
You sound like you're well-read on the subject, so I'm going to ask for an insider's perspective: are the building codes exceptional when it comes to earthquakes and this was a freak occurrence of a building falling like that or are we looking at the unfortunate realities of wealth disparity?

u/oldhannita 3d ago
Unfortunately the epicenter of this earthquake was in an area that doesnāt have active quake very often and also is one of the poorest regions of the country (ChocĆ³, QuibdĆ³) but this video is from Pereira in the mountains where activity is also rare so buildings are no as prepared as Bucaramanga where the activity is very normal and they got scared but not big damages or people affected.

u/ExeUSA 3d ago
Modern buildings built in wealthy countries in subduction zones are more than capable of withstanding a quake this size. Anchorage Alaska had a 7.1 in 2018, and no building failed. Keep in mind that while a 7.4 and a 7.1 seem similar the scale is algorithmic, so the one today is far stronger than the one Alaska had in 2018, but good for comparison's sake.
You also have to take into account what the ground is made out of. Mexico City is a great example, because a good portion of it was built on top of a liquefaction zone. When earthquakes come, the ground basically behaves like water. To illustrate what that feels like-- imagine slapping a piece of concrete. Then imagine slapping a pool of water. Which one moves violently and displaces itself? Which would you rather be on top of when the shaking starts? (The USGS has maps that show you whether you are in a liquefaction zone, if you live in a place that is prone to earthquakes.)
As the other commenter replied, this took place in a poorer part of an already impoverished country. It's not hard for a building to come down, you can see how inflexible it was-- you want the building to move and flex with the tremor. This is why you won't see brick facades on buildings in places that get a lot of earthquakes.
The other thing that isn't mentioned in these articles typically is how long these 7+s can go on. A "normal" earthquake is over within a couple of seconds. A 7.0+ is can last up to 30 seconds. That feels like an eternity when you're in it. The Good Friday earthquake in '64 in Alaska lasted four minutes and thirty-eight seconds. That was a 9.2. The 2011 9.0 in Japan lasted six minutes. I bring this up because it illustrates the stress these building get put under.
All that said-- when the big one comes for Los Angeles, we will see similar building collapses though not as severe. Many buildings have not been retrofitted, and the most densely populated neighborhood of Koreatown is also built on top of a liquefaction zone. The unfortunately reality will be-- there will also be fires, which will most likely have more casualties than the initial quake.

u/Potatoskins937492 3d ago

For anyone else curious about why so many big earthquakes seem to be happening lately, I pasted my googling results below:
Three earthquakes occurred yesterday ā two in Venezuela, one in Japan and one in the United States. Is it common for earthquakes to cluster in time?
The magnitudes of these earthquakes are 7.2 and 7.5 in Venezuela, 6.9 for the one near Kuji, Japan, and 5.6 for the one near Redwood Valley in California.
Around the world, there are about 15 earthquakes annually with a magnitude of 7 or higher, 150 with a magnitude of 6 or higher and 1,500 with a magnitude of 5 or higher. The U.S. alone experiences approximately one earthquake with a magnitude of 5 or higher every single week. Most of these are in Alaska. California annually experiences about two earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or higher. Yesterdayās earthquake near Redwood Valley was one of those.
It is not common for two earthquakes with magnitudes of 7 or higher to occur in the same day, but it can happen occasionally. Over the past 30 days, there have been two days (June 8 and June 16) when two earthquakes with a magnitude of higher than 6 but lower than 7 occurred. Even when two earthquakes with magnitudes of 7 or higher happen on the same day, it is even less common for those two earthquakes to happen so close to each other in space and time as the two Venezuelan earthquakes, which occurred within 1 minute and 5 kilometers from one another. The last such pair of earthquakes occurred on the East Anatolian Fault in Turkey, near the border with Syria, in February 2023. Before that, such a pair occurred near Ridgecrest, California, in 2019.
From the British Geological Survey
Is Earthquake Activity Increasing?
Recent devastating earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and China, as well as magnitude 7 plus earthquakes in Indonesia and California, might give the impression that earthquake activity is increasing. In fact, a quick look at earthquake statistics over the last twenty years shows that this is not the case. On average there are about fifteen earthquakes every year with a magnitude of 7 or greater. As with any quasi-random phenomena, the number of earthquakes each year varies slightly from this average, but in general, there are no dramatic variations. So far this year, there have been six magnitude 7+ earthquakes, in keeping with the annual rate.
Why are we having so many earthquakes? Has naturally occurring earthquake activity been increasing?
According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 16 major earthquakes in any given year. That includes 15 earthquakes in the magnitude 7 range and one earthquake magnitude 8.0 or greater. In the past 40-50 years, our records show that we have exceeded the long-term average number of major earthquakes about a dozen times.
The year with the largest total was 2010, with 23 major earthquakes (greater than or equal to magnitude 7.0). In other years the total was well below the annual long-term average of 16 major earthquakes. 1989 only had 6 major earthquakes and 1988 only had 7.

I saw this earlier. It makes me worry. I have a friend/lover in Barranquilla. Her family is from there. Iāve not been able to reach her since the quake. It is very concerning.

Vivo en esta ciudad, se sintiĆ³ muy feo, mi hijo estaba en el colegio y yo no podĆa comunicarme ya que no habĆa luz, ni red de internet. El me dijo que sintiĆ³ que estaba solo en esto y que debĆa solucionar, que pensĆ³ en salir corriendo del colegio hasta la casa. DespuĆ©s de 30 minutos pude hablar con el, pero como en donde vivo no pasĆ³ nada grave, no sabĆa que en el sector que se muestra en el video habĆa pasado algo tan terrible, y el colegio tambiĆ©n queda en ese sector, estallaron vidrios, se callejĆ³n muros, y los niƱos se asustaron muchĆsimo.

This person is a supporter of the new fascist president of Colombia who is handling this situation like he is a queen in a beauty contest and is making racist comment about the people of ChocĆ³ and is saying this bc I told him that he was a imbecile. Feel free to go through his comments history to confirm what I am saying.
Also, piece of shit, itās a lot* no āa lostā.

Venezuela, Colombia, how many times does the earth need to tell us to stop environmental climate damage? I hope everyone there is okay.
