    I happened to be watching that baseball game at the time, and the quake went on for – dunno – 20 seconds or something. And nobody in the stands reacted, and the players kept playing. The centerfield camera was wobbling like it was handheld.

    Reminded me of the Steve Martin movie, LA Story. There’s a scene at a restaurant, I think, where a quake hits and all the dishes are bumping and sliding on the table, and the conversation continues like nothing is happening.

    I’ve never been scared during a quake, but there is once when I should have been. San Francisco in 89. I was thinking, “Cool. Earthquake!” Then the house creaked, and plaster flew off the corners of the walls while water sloshed out of the teetering aquarium, and I started rethinking how cool it was, but it stopped abruptly.

    This one in LA went on a long time.

    Maybe if you Californicans hadn’t turned your hearts away from Jesus, and
    towards gay whales, just maybe the Lord wouldnt be about to cast you people into the fiery pit of the ocean.
