This image has been much passed around the earth science community in Texas. This one is the depth of the local aquifer in Central Texas. The compression wave from the earthquake is strikingly obvious as it passes by, affecting the porosity of the aquifer.
After a massive quake, the whole earth rings like a bell. It's all connected; the lines we draw between "us" and "them", between "here" and "there" are just convention and ritual, empty ceremony.

Now that really is fascinating.
Perhaps when all this fuss is over, successfully I hope, someone will collect a whole heap of these records to show the variations in the effects at lots of places. With lots of different geology. With lots of interesting impacts.
Just the sort of thing to flesh out some popular science documentaries and ignite general interest in science.
