Ok, now the bungalow is moving but why aren't the trees and vegetation moving

@Chammy92243 They are. The resolution of the camera isn't good enough to show. The wind was also blowing so it was hard to separate the wind movement from the earthquake. I had to stay near the bungalow because a few coconuts from the trees had fallen down during the early shaking. Dangerous!

There is that distinct ultra low bass sound.  I remember when an earthquake hit here in and that "ultra low bass" sound I will never forget.

Some of the low rumble sound is from the metal screen over the window. The video was shot after 1.5 minutes when the main shock and slower waves had passed.
