Quake it off.
wasn’t creating enough of a groundswell, Swifties caused such a ruckus during the Seattle, Washington leg that they generated the equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake — rivaling the legendary “Beastquake” of 2011.
To see how the two events compared tectonically, Caplan-Auerback first analyzed data from the two Swift shows. “I grabbed 10 hours of data from when doors opened to well after I thought the audience had gone home and I just plotted them out to see how did the ground shake,” said Western Washington University geology professor Jackie Caplan-Auerbach while describing how she measured the tectonic activity of the Taylor Swift concerts.She then cross-referenced the data with the number of the “Beastquake” and found that the discrepancy was only about 0.3 on the seismometer.
