Anyone else remember the earthquake preparedness info-show that started airing right after this? It had the LACo fire department fireman on there telling you how to prepare, The having of good walking shoes in your office and keeping small amounts of food hidden in said shoes still sticks with me to this day.

When it hit at 7:40 I was at my gf's in PV everyone in the apt complex was standing in their doorways. Seems it lasted over 35 seconds or so. She went off to class and I was watching the news when Shocknek went under the desk. And I jumped up and went over the back of the couch to the door again.

I remember this earthquake quite well. I was in the 7th grade getting ready to head out to school when the earthquake struck. Kent Schockneck on Channel 4 news, ducking under the desk, was classic! I watched that live on TV.

Southern California Edison is a disgrace. They speak of diversity but they are far from embracing true diversity. In my video S.C.E. Slave Company Edison you can get a look inside of Edison and see their true actions against African Americans.

I love how the guy at 0:46 just sits there and looks up...DURING AN EARTHQUAKE!
