Shaken Southlanders Describe Their Experiences For An Earthquake-Curious America
Well, hopefully by now you’ve mixed yourself a nice cocktail to settle the post-earthquake jitters, didn’t climb behind the wheel of an F-150, and are not currently in need of hand surgery. With everything seemingly still standing—even that wobbly nightstand that holds our framed, signed Eugene Levy headshot—we thought we’d celebrate with QUAKE ‘08: The Survivors’ Stories, courtesy of your de facto natural-disaster-coverage destination, CNN. We particularly love the guy in the record store, contemplating his own narrowly avoided foot-mangling beneath a toppled rack of Gypsy King CDs. We also have video of KCAL’s breaking news report after the jump, which confirms what we knew all along: This earthquake lasted a really long time!

UPDATE: Some toppled streetlights and broken pipes have been reported. An official press conference on the rumbler is underway.
UPDATE #2: More damage: We have a sighting of broken jars of pasta sauce being mopped up at the WeHo Trader Joe’s!
