'Big Shaker' quake simulator coming to Marysville

MARYSVILLE — Get ready to rumble, Marysville.

People can see what’s billed as the world’s largest mobile earthquake simulator 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at Delta Plaza, 514 Delta Ave., Marysville.

The simulator, nicknamed “The Big Shaker,” is capable of simulating earthquakes up to 8.0 magnitude. It is intended to help people prepare themselves for a real earthquake.

“Our simulators have been developed for earthquake preparedness education, training, and consumer outreach,” reads The Big Shaker’s website. “They are unique and provide the most realistic replications of earthquakes imaginable.”
