But I don't why they say it was just 5,7... it was much more strong than 5,7.

I had not seen those videos, the first one is very close to my house, about 5 minutes away, and you can see a very strong movement at one moment, and before that maybe it is not very noticeable in the video but the movement was also very intense, and after that strong tremor, everything continued to move... I stayed still in my bed and I calculated about 7.4 degrees. In the argentine city of Mendoza, which is further from the epicenter with respect to my location, they measured it at 6.6 degrees, which perhaps coincides with my assessment, that it was more than 7 degrees, although they say that the intensity of each place depends on the "type of soil", but it still does not make much sense to me that they measured it with greater intensity in Argentina, than in the epicenter itself.

Here in the second video you can clearly see the intense movement in the pool.

Interesting. The earthquake occurred at a depth considered intermediate of 110 km that would have mitigated a little the intensity which was considered by USGS as moderate (five on a scale of ten where ten is an extreme intensity) Watching the videos it was too abrupt and of short duration, about 3 seconds of very strong intensity of a total of at least 5 seconds and from which the sensation was light.

If this earthquake had occurred at a shallow depth it would have been felt even stronger, as was the case with the California M7.0 earthquake with a depth of 10 km (revised because it was originally recorded at sea level 0.6 km, which led to speculation that the earthquake had been caused by a nuclear explosion test).

Usually this type of M6+ earthquakes do not cause a sensation among Chileans and it seems that this time it was not even the case. There are many videos in the networks of surprised people.

Three aftershocks have been detected so far The strongest was a magnitude 3.1 quake that hit 14 hours after the mainshock. An aftershock of magnitude 5+ may occur.​

Last week saw 1M7 earthquake (in California, US) and 1 M6, a M6.0 in the Kuril islands.
In the usual area, there were 4 out of 82 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 2040 out of 2428 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 84.0%

Last week saw 4 M6 earthquake with the highest being a M6.4 in Chile.
In the usual area, there were 30 out of 113 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 2146 out of 2440 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 88.0%

No aftershock greater than M4.7 has occurred in California so the alert for an M5+ event remains in effect.

The expected aftershock in California happened with M5.2 as well as the response in Mexico with M5.0.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT DECEMBER 18_2024

Videos continue to be released of the devastation caused by the M7.3 earthquake in Vanuatu. So far 14 fatalities are reported, 6 of them died in landslides and the rest in collapsed buildings.​

Rescuers race to find survivors as 14 dead after Vanuatu earthquake​

Glen Craig, chair of the Vanuatu Business Resilience Council, told the BBC: "We [in Vanuatu] are used to disasters... you can usually hear the earthquakes coming; you hear like a rumble or a deep roar. But this one we had no warning at all - there was just a sudden boom. This was next level, it felt like something that comes once in a generation."

"We are used to having hurricanes which cause issues like food scarcity, affect housing. This time there's none of that," he said.

"But we normally don't have this many fatalities as a result of natural disasters - so fatalities at this level, that's not normal for us."

One witness recounted how he and his wife "sprinted" out of a building when the earthquake struck.

According to preliminary estimates from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the quake might have been felt by over 300,000 people across 2 countries: Vanuatu (300,000) and New Caledonia (0). Approx. 63,200 people were in areas with Very strong shaking (intensity VII)

USGS issued a Yellow alert (moderate) for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses.

For this strong earthquake, 15 aftershocks have been detected so far. The strongest was a magnitude 5.5 quake that hit 6 minutes after the mainshock.

SSGEOS Earthquake forecast updated December 16, 2024​

There is a slight possibility of a major earthquake 16-17 December. A convergence of planetary and lunar geometry around 18 December likely results in strong tremors in the higher 5 to 6 magnitude range. A larger earthquake may occur around the 20th.​

SSGEOS estimates a 50% probability of an earthquake between M5.5 and M6.9 The M7.3 earthquake will have some repercussions on the West Coast of the U.S. and Baja California Mexico.
