Last night’s earthquake in SoCal

TNP777

So unless any of you were watching the Padres-Dodgers game or actually live in California or Arizona, you may not have heard about last night’s 6.9 earthquake that’s epicenter was roughly 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

I was laying in bed watching my Dodgers, and the screen started rolling around. Dodgers announcers Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser immediately said they were experiencing another earthquake, one day after a 6.4 was centered in the same area.

No sooner did they start talking about, my bed started rolling. Lemme tell you guys, it was not a good feeling. Longest earthquake I’ve ever experienced, and it immediately brought to mind the awful Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 that interrupted the World Series and killed 63 people. It was also 6.9 on the Richter Scale.

Amazingly, the players on the field didn’t feel a thing, but you can tell from the video in the liner story that the crowd was plenty aware. I can’t imagine how scared some of them were. Hell, I was kinda scared, and I was 200 miles away.

I saw that clip this morning, Paul. This young woman was having none of it. I don’t blame her.

I think the earthquake of 1989 was during the playoff series between the Giants and Cubs, which the Cubs blew!

Jon, it was definitely before Game 3 of the World Series between the A’s and Giants.

Here’s the video I was looking for. This is what I was watching while things were rolling at my house. Listen to the crowd noise grow.

Crazy that the players were seemingly oblivious.

I'll take your word for that since you live there. But that is the year the Giants beat the Cubs in the playoff's.
