This sample is a collection of sounds to represent a very violent earthquake.

My work on this sample is public domain, ignore the CC license for my part of the work. It is based on other samples, so the ultimate license depends on those samples. I have marked the sample using Attribution/Non-Commercial because two of the sounds sadly still have the Sampling+ license. You can check the licenses of the samples here to see if that has changed:

Finally! Took me some time to find the right sound of a rock/boulder being forcibly shifting in/on the earth.
