“...A magnitude-4.4 earthquake that
was centered six miles north of Beverly Hills struck around 6:25 a.m. yesterday,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
No major damages or injuries were
reported, but the shaking was felt as far as Orange, Riverside and Santa
Barbara counties.
It was also felt quite strongly in
KTLA’s studios in Hollywood, sending morning anchors Chris Schauble and Megan
Henderson ducking for cover underneath the anchor desk during Monday’s
broadcast.
“I was very proud to see the KTLA
anchors going under their desk during the earthquake, that was absolutely the
right thing to do,” said Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the U.S.
Geological Survey.
“People who are laughing at them for
doing it, you don’t know at the beginning how big an earthquake’s going to be,”
she said. “You might feel a little silly doing it for the small ones, but when
the big one happens, it means you stay alive after the lights come crashing
down.”
Jones called it a “great example”
that everyone should follow in the event of an earthquake...”
