LA Earthquake happens on live TV

/ richdemuro I do a tech report for a bunch of TV stations based out of Los Angeles. I was on the air in San Digeo doing a live shot when the Westwood earthquake happened.

[@bloodyleech]

rich handled that like a boss

[@jdhomrighausen1]

I love how you kept your cool and reported on it as it was happening as if it was a planned and scripted story.

[@invisibletenants]

Out-of-stater: OMG!! IT'S A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE!! RUN FOR COVER!!! Californian: What, that's it? Poop.

[@dicktracy2049]

You can tell the native Californians from the transplants. Native Californians hardly blink for a 4.4 quake.

[@printman90606]

Hell, if I hadn't already been up, I would have slept through it....much made over a nothing rattle.

[@lhaviland8602]

Chileans only just start to notice 4.4's lol.

[@xxbluesky77xxG]

At least he didn't get under the table. They did that on channel 7. Crazy to see it live

[@melisluv06]

[@shyy87]

Ive never experienced a quake b4 but I could imagine the fear n suspense of not knowing just how strong its gonna be when it starts

[@superveloce350]

That's exactly what terrifies me when I feel an earthquake. I have a good amount of experience with earthquakes because I live in Puerto Rico. The latest earthquake i felt was 6.4.

[@dingusbro925]

They’re not panicking cause they live in plain area. Earthquake in mountain area is much more terrifying

[@coffiecats]

and while you're running for the door, something could have greater chance of falling on top of you, or the floor collapsing out from under you, or windows shattering and impaling your face with glass. At least being under the desk, you'll have something covering you
