In case you guys are in a bubble, a major seismic event (a.k.a. a freaking 5.8. earthquake) was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego. CNN reports:
The quake’s epicenter was about 2 miles southwest of Chino Hills and about 5 miles southeast of Diamond Bar, the USGS said. Chino Hills is about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
There were no immediate reports of injury or damage in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey told The Associated Press. San Bernardino County fire dispatch did not have reports of damage, AP said.
No major injuries which means Heidi and Spencer are still alive. Dammit, God, you missed! I hear the phone lines are a mess, but from the sound of it, everyone’s just a bit “shaken up.” Get it? I’m horribly inappropriate. But in all seriousness, The Superficial hopes everyone’s doing alright and your loved ones are safe. (Unless you’re related to Ashton Kutcher, then I rescind my prior statement.)

How am I supposed to believe in God if the quake didn’t kill Heidi & Spencer?

Oh well, hopefully there will be some reports later of elderly people dying of heart attacks and babies smothered under fallen bookcases.

They’ll claim heath ledger heroically rose from the dead to make dark knight 2. In reality, it was all a hoax. He was hiding in Sonora, Mexico with a 12 year old.

are you sure not just one of them?
FaFa | July 29, 2008 at 3:35 pm
It was pretty nuts, I’m still shaken by it. It was little at first but then it felt like the building was swaying and lasted forever. Now my cell phone isn’t working. It was actually a 5.4 earthquake, they just announced it.

Blaargghh | July 29, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Eh, it was no big deal. Little bit of a jolt. Love how the news is making a huge deal out of it here. Talking to idiots…”Oh well, I was totally prepared…I have an earthquake kit in my closet” It was a freakin’ 5.4, woopdy doo! Local news are seriously now doing flyovers of local schools to show kids lined up in the soccer fields after evacuations…

Jacqueline Hyde | July 29, 2008 at 3:45 pm
I miss the Northridge quake. Man, that was a fun ride. Bring it, San Andreas!
Brittany | July 29, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I felt it 90 miles north of LA in Santa Barbara!
rest of the U.S. | July 29, 2008 at 3:57 pm
FUCK!!!
Earthquakes, fires, AIDS…what the fuck do we have to use to wipe out California? The residents are like a highly resistant strain of herpes.
Akare | July 29, 2008 at 3:59 pm
You guys are chickens. Tell me when it is a 7.5 or an 8 like the onces I’ve felt before and THEN call me…
OC Dee | July 29, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I felt it in the OC. I’m glad it was only a 5.4 and not like the Northridge earthquake.
ZoomBoy | July 29, 2008 at 4:07 pm
WHO CARES!
Just leave Vegas since I’m going there in the fall. The rest of the West can fall into the ocean.

NOTHING happened, no buildings broke, houses shook a little. it was only 5.4, big deal, if youve lived in cali your whole life thats nothing. my house shook for about 5 seconds, yea the whole housse shook but thats only because its a piece of crap house, i mean, it was so small i thought it was just one of those pre earthquake shakes and in a few seconds hell was gonna break loose, but nothing else happened

They are all drama queens in Cali.
Norabbitsthanks | July 29, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I live in San Diego and felt it pretty well. First California earthquake for me! Woo Hoo!
Blarrgghhhhh | July 29, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Into our second hour of coverage on the local news…douchebag reporter from KTLA describing what the earthquake felt like…hello? You’re local news!!! We all felt the same thing!!! It’s crap like this that makes it embarassing to be from California…that and Speidi…

Richard McBeef | July 29, 2008 at 4:45 pm
FAT! OMG like that earthquake needed to go to a gym or something. gross. still I would hit it.
Dave | July 29, 2008 at 4:49 pm
The good part is that there were no victims.
House | July 29, 2008 at 4:51 pm
what’s the deal with all the Cali bashing? When we’re fcking gone, see who makes your damned wine, trains your military, grows your fruit and vegetables
All of that makes me want Cal to break ties with this screwed up nation of ungrateful pricks.
Shelby | July 29, 2008 at 4:51 pm
@18 Honestly, IMO America would be alot better people wouldnt’ be sitting on their ass all the time watching TV and movies… America might become physically fit if hollywood disappeared…then it would lead to all the fat geeks gettin out of there basement and influencing there ideas that hid in there fat rolls and are now free… the world would be a better place without hollywood

@34 …wahhhhh wahhhh wahhh…WRONG
First of all Idiot, flakey ass California isnt the only place in the world that makes wine, trains the military and grows fruits and vegetables.
You do however hold the record for the most gangs, criminals, illegal aliens, DUIs and definitely the flakiest, most uneducated bunch of ignoramuses that have ever presided in the United States. Nowhere else are the people so empty-minded that they would even think of allowing the things Ca. allows, aside from France or some other pseudo-socialist euro-trash shithole.
Get out of your treehouse and get with the program granola nutz!
Cockpuncher | July 29, 2008 at 7:32 pm
@23: STOP calling it “The OC”.
a) No one gives a shit that you live there
b) You look douchey doing it
Jon | July 29, 2008 at 7:51 pm
I live in California (Loma Preitta ring a bell?) and a 5.4 is a goose fart. It’s not a major “news worthy” quake unless it’s a 6.5 and up. Drama queens.
cfiacats | July 29, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Who cares? whole stupid state could break off the continent for all I care. And it would probably be a better country for it. Fucking Californians.

that was no quake kim kardashian farted.

Vake | July 29, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Small cakes. I survived a 7.8 earthquake in western China 2 1/2 months ago. Not a scratch. You hollywood types need to go back to reporting what’s important- covering mindless celeb drivel.
mooples | July 29, 2008 at 11:49 pm
I was in long beach at sunset beach, didn’t feel shit and was right at the ocean. the waves rose a bit though.
thisithink | July 30, 2008 at 12:56 am
yeah.. i felt it. i am housesitting ontop of a mountain. good times. it wasn’t big enough to be scary, just freaky b/c it always takes a few minutes to realize that youaren’t imagining the ground moving. odd.
House | July 30, 2008 at 1:26 am
@ 41
Ohh right, because yeah, you know everyone in Cal, and you know all the bunch of retards that live here. I bet you know all of the unedecated masses. Not to forget to mention the fact that we have one of the highest quality state-run college systems that pretty much make it impossible for anyone short of having a 4.0 gpa to get into. But sure, we’re a bunch of ignorant hicks, hippies, eurotrash-embrasing, latte-sipping, liberal hoohahs, well because skippy says we are. Yes, the uneducated Californian masses that lead the country in medical research, stem cell research and robotics. Well, those damn Californians, how dare they discover the polio vaccine.
I bet you live in the middle of fcking nowhere in a trailer park with your sister/cousin/mother/wife *yes, all in one* where the most exciting part of your day is taking a bath in a bucket that also serves as toilet and a kitchen sink.
Well, that’s a humble Californian point of view on everything south of New York and east of the West Coast.
Boy, it’s fun being a dumbass!!!
