The earthquake hit on a, I believe a Monday morning, and um,
I happen to be in the newsroom when it hit. They said "okay, you ready to go? Just give it a
5,4,3,2,1 and start narrating. And so I have the page in front of me,
I said "here goes, 5,4,3,2,..."
Boom. The quake hit, and were all just hanging on for glory, and the lights are
flickering
and we though "oh God, not now, not now"
And I was scared because you hear this rhythmic boom, boom
boom, boom. And I thought, I envisioned
the building next to me, 6 floors, going 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, dead Joe.
And I thought "oh no," and all I remember thinking was
"make it quick, God, make it quick."
