It's both hypnotic and very distressing.
It's a natural disaster sure, but it's also one that should have been foreseeable.
I feel that any future building in that area would have to have a concrete tower as part of any small complex- where locals can get above the waterline quickly - and that can become shelter from the quakes if need be.

The waste of life is horrendous - the problem exacerbated by the flimsy construction methods that a quake prone city use to stop crush injuries.
