Judge Judy Is Not Taking Any Chances
In case you missed it, here's a video of yesterday's earthquake interrupting the "Judy Judy" set. Judge Judy sort of looks around at the beginning of the quake. She was thinking, "I know I'm powerful, but damn." When the shaking really starts, Judge Judy busts out of that bitch. She was probably halfway home when the quake ended. She wasn't taking any chances.
The two bitches in the front must be visitors, because they are just standing there with farty looks on their faces. I mean, they were asking for a light to fall on their heads!
The last time I was in California and there was an earthquake, I just hit the fucking floor like an idiot. Like being on the floor is really going to prevent shit from falling on you.
• 
That's hilarious! I didn't feel the quake either but it was down in LA. It probably was just one of the 2 or 3s that are up here on a daily basis. The 5.4 in LA wasn't a big deal, we've had way worse.
Your face!

remember reading about China's earthquake a few months ago.
there were reports of legions of frogs and insects moving en masse a few weeks before the big quake.
the animals knew way before hand a major quake was about to hit.

We had a tornado blow through here a few weeks ago at 2:30 in the morning on a weekend, and most people didn't even hear the sirens or wake up.
People had their roofs fly off with no idea it was even coming.
Our son heard the sirens and came in to wake us up - we didn't believe him at first until we were awake enough to hear them.
I just watched this clip, and the smartest person on there was the guy in the red shirt. His as* was up in the bookcase towards the back of the set. Genius!
"Now his failure is complete"... Darth Vader
Jillypoo, that one woke me up in Louisville, KY, too. At first, I thought it was a very low-flying plane, and I hoped they didn't crash on Interstate 65, LOL! Gimme a tornado any day-I know when they're coming, and I can hide in my basement.
Judge Judy booked her ass outta there, just like I would've done. Let natural selection get the slack-jawed morons standing there.
I live in San Francisco California on occassion during the night I'll wake up to an earthquake. A few months back there was one in the East Bay that shook our house and I panicked and stood in the door way. I went to college in MI - I'd much rather go through an earth quake than a tornado ANY DAY!! just sayin~
I live out in Palm Springs and we even felt that quake! That's the first thing I thought when watching it that the litigants must be out of towners cuz they were just standing there!

Why is everyone running out of the door?! Where are you going to go? It's an earthquake...it's shaking everywhere! I've lived in California my whole life and I still don't understand that reaction....Idiots.
"All Those Who Wander Are Not Lost."
She was hiding under her desk or podium whatever its called watch carefully.
Well, there's no accounting for the way peeps behave when their panicking, but JJ may have done just the right thing by jumping off that podium - I'm guessing she probably has a half ton of studio lights and mic booms hanging right over her head.
NICE! My friend recommended me a very interesting place """"""C e l e b C u p i d.c o m""""""" If you’ve ever been there you will know what I mean….
WOW!
THATS REAL ACTION I WANNA SEE LOL
SORRY CALI PEOPLE BUT YOU DO KNOW THAT CALI IS GOING TO SINK INTO THE OCEN SOON RIGHT?

I sure felt it. First, the house jiggled and then it ended with a shove. Some folks run like mad...me, I just freeze!
It was my dog's first. We just stared at each other, all wide-eyed. He was like "what the fuck are you doing?" Then, he looked at the bed.
He's only used to that kind of movement around here on Saturday nights...
lol, i can actually hear judge judy's inner-voice saying, "fuck this! i don't make near enough".
Judge Judy can beat quakes.
I thought if you know where the faults are it helps.maybe not.
with tornadoes, at least the weather is a clue to what's coming.
Having been thru the Loma Prieta in '89, I can still say I miss the EQs. And I am a firm believer in earth quake weather.
Never get directly under something. It is just another layer to remove.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...whatever.
I have been through almost all the rest of Mother Nature's wrath, but for some reason, earthquakes are the ones that scare me the most.
Probably, cuz you can't see them coming.

Could you see Judge Judy jumping into his arms saying, "I've always loved you Byrd, take me you big black beautiful bailiff!"
remember reading about China's earthquake a few months ago.
there were reports of legions of frogs and insects moving en masse a few weeks before the big quake.
the animals knew way before hand a major quake was about to hit.
all those people died in China in that last quake because those buildings are made of like, cardboard and paper clips.
shoddy Chinese made goods, even the Chinese are being fucked over.
earthquakes happen all over.
we have experienced three on the east coast.
the first two times we had no idea what was going on.. our cats were going berserk.
the last time I knew it was an earthquake... very strange sensation, EVERYTHING is moving.
the building is swaying or shaking all over.
I lived in San Francisco for two years, and there was never so much as a tremor.
But then I go back to visit for a month last year and there were four.
Fuck that. They are so overdue for a big quake and I am glad I don't have to worry about that anymore.

the first time and LAST time i was in cali was during a quake, some 20years back .. no joke .. they said it was a baby quake .. tell that to the piss in my pants .. i can't see how you 'fornians live through that crap! judge judy had the right idea! i would have been like '$5000 to the plaintiff case dismissed' .. they didn't even try to get outta dodge .. the audience was hauling ass too! love jj .. but these two, not the brightest bulbs in the lights, eh?
JJ probably has a helicopter waiting for her in the iron bat cave, just in case. LOL
I wouldn't know wtf to do. I probably would just faint. I have never been out West. I'm a Hurricane/Tornado kind of person. At least most times with those, you have a little warning and can get the fock out.

God, I love Judge Judy.
I've been through many earth quakes since I was born and raised in So Cal. No matter how many times you've been through one, it never gets any easier. But I must say, I never thought "oh my god, I'm going to die". They are the most interesting things to hear. They all have their own different sounds in the ways they are traveling through the ground. Very weird.

You're saying he's proportionate for a man of 2'8"?
Here's some great vid of the LA City Council as the EQ hit. These are the city leaders, and yet no one does the right thing. They shout and mill about, is all. Two tidbits: (1) Our esteemed Mayor was on vacay in London. (2) A few years ago, at massive cost, they rebuilt City Hall so it now rides on giant rubber rollers; thus it's one of the safer buildings in LA now.

Judge Judy sure did haul ass out of there. I'm sure the defendant and the plantiff thought suddenly that God was coming to be the judge and announce the verdict. ☺

Try to reason with the EQ and explain that you understand it's hurting, too.

Your first thought is "Holy shit! I don't wanna die!".. and whatever your body chooses to do after that, is pretty much out of your control. I always ran to the doorway... even though it never made any sense to me.. it's not like you see a bunch of freestanding doorways after a major earthquake, while the rest of the house is in ruins.
Very, very true.

Attempt to appear larger by raising your arms and opening your jacket if you are wearing one. Wave your arms slowly and speak firmly in a loud voice.

Bradiful - I'd rather live in the shake rattle and roll country over twisters, hurricanes, etc.
Mrs. K.,
I'll make some loud clicking noises too, just to be safe.
LOVE Judge Judy.. I don't know how anyone can hate on her. She is just no joke.
That lady probably has a steel pod in her office just for this type of emergency. I picture her chambers to be like the BatCave.
Im sorry... but I'm 32 and I grew up in Southern Cali. Your first thought in an earthquake is not, "How can I protect the lives of people around me?"

It made no sense but I was a trained monkey.

That guy is so confused, OMG. He realizes seriousness of the situation, being in a court room and all, but at the same time everything is shaking. The facial expressions are priceless :D

I get all my survival advice mixed up. I'd be like... do I run around in circles? Or is that if I'm trying to escape the jaws of a crocodile? Play dead? Wait for the air mask to drop from the ceiling? And obviously ole' Judge Judy wouldn't be there to help me out.
Holy shit, she hauled ass!
Ahhahahaa Judge Judy rocks. She was down into the Bat Cave and off in the Batmobile before those midwesterns could say "WHAT THA FUCK??".

I guess after yesterday's earthly mortal reminder, I was just wondering how "Real" people and not a website or some instructional guide lines really react.
Sorry if I brought the thread down to everyone.
On a lighter note: While watching the CNN coverage, they had a shot that was on forever and the Scientology building was front and center in it, my wish did not come true, it's still there.

i'm from la and remember whittier, northridge (good times) and joshua tree. at school we'd have earthquake drills and they'd tell us to duck under the desks and maybe hold the legs if the desk was light. but then they always said to get to a doorway if possible, because it was the "safest place" in the house. now i'm informed that they are teaching that the doorway isn't so safe after all, and that you have to duck under a heavy table. so if you don't have a heavy table you're screwed.
most people do what that dude did in the middle. stand there like a dumbass and wait for it to end.
oh, they've been threatening the "big one" since the beginning of time.

This is a real question for CA people:
What are you supposed to do when and if the Big One hits?
I'm just curious.
***************************************************
Having survived a 7.1 Uhm............my dumb ass RAN from the building to the football field. WIDE OPEN SPACE.
So I live in California and am used to earthquakes. But damn, yesterday's scared the living daylights out of me. Of course, I was about to use the restroom and right when my cheeks hit the seat, the ground started to shake. All I needed was a ham sammich and I would have pulled an "Elvis" and would have been a legacy in my workplace.
Damn me for not reading red meat!
I always stand in doorways; I know it probably won't help in a "big one" but it makes me feel like I am somewhat in control.
Judge Judy is a wuss. The earthquake wasn't all that bad yesterday- it shook everyone's nerves but it wasn't anything like Northridge.
Submitted by Sheeps on July 30, 2008 - 11:46am.
That sounds about right.
Sheep - yep, people don't do what they are supposed to. I head for doorways. But the last big jolt we had here, that I can remember, I was six months pregnant, sitting on the toilet when it hit. It was like a 4.8 or so, nice little jolt, but I couldn't get up from the pot in time to get to the doorway.
*embarassed*
It would have sucked to have been having surgery when that happened.

Yeah, they did seem weekly and rarely very large. But all the buildings are so bamboo-like that they rattled and swayed a lot more. I was on the observation deck of some skyscraper in Shinjuku when one decent one hit. It felt like we were swaying 15' to either side.
