We know you don’t care, but there was a 5.4 earthquake in Southern California on Tuesday that basically set the stage for California finally, gloriously falling into the ocean sometime in the next 30 years. KYW1060 rang up presumably the only Californian they know (and possibly the only living reminder of the time when the Inquirer was a paper that people actually read) Steve Lopez to see, you know, what that felt like. Steve! Please use your award-winning descriptive powers to describe this notable quake! Enrapture us please!

“It felt for a while like the building I was in might come down.”

Um? Dude?

“I had the willies, I have to admit, going to our parking garage to get my car and head out here.”

Sigh. Thanks. We’ll find out the rest of what we need to know via earthquake twitters.
