172: Earthquakes: From Human Sacrifice to Nuclear Disaster… Is the Big One Coming??

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Do you guys remember earthquake drills? I grew up in California… So earthquake drills were just part of my life growing up.

It seemed like we did earthquake drills nonstop. And despite that, I can never seem to remember what to do during an earthquake. Like, do I go to a doorway? Do I hide under a desk?

Do I stop, drop, and roll? Oh right, that’s for fires.

Some earthquakes are so big they have literally changed the size and rotation of the earth. The whole thing terrifies me because I learned that sometimes, an earthquake is just the *beginning* of a disaster.

Earthquakes can trigger *other* events - like tsunamis, fires, and even… human sacrifice. And once upon a time, an earthquake almost caused a nuclear disaster. So let’s get into it.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
