I was watching the telecast and wound up watching the news pretty late (school night). Scary shit.

Yeah I was watching this on tv when it happened.

I didn't feel anything but some people I knew claimed to have felt it. I think my mom felt it in LA.

Those announcers were yucking it up too much, given the gravity of the situation. It was a big earthquake, IIRC.

I guess they were just stunned by the event.

they probably had no idea how bad it really was.

It was a very big earthquake.

My friend Janine had just finished driving over the Golden Gate Bridge and saw a road sign buckle and touch the ground, and then swing back up to normal. She was terrified.
