With video cameras and camera phones becoming nearly ubiquitous, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that the Eureka earthquake was reportedly caught on tape by at least one person -- and it's likely more footage will be uploaded to YouTube over time.

That's part of the change being brought about by social media: With the tools of content creation in everyone's hands (video cameras in phones, Twitter apps, mobile blogging), we're reaching a point at which everyone is a reporter.

As we mentioned previously, some of the first pics of the damage caused by the Eureka earthquake were posted to Twitter. Now, according to French-language news outlet @lesnews, we have an actual video of the event, taking place during the filming of a fairly ordinary scene. It was, of course, posted to YouTube.
