An anchor for Taiwan’s iNews was live on air relaying a message from the country’s earthquake early warning system when the actual 7.4 temblor hit Tuesday.
Video shows the newscaster did not even pause as she began to report on what would later be recognized as the island’s biggest shake in decades. The camera cut to wildly swinging light cans in the studio rafters and then back down to the intrepid anchor who, while visibly rocked by the shaking, did not break eye contact. Her only concession to the jolt was to reach back with one hand and brace herself against the video screen behind her. Watch below.

KCAL9 anchors Juan Fernandez and Sara Donchey braced on air during their Friday evening newscast, as a powerful 7.1 earthquake shook the Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
“I think we should get under the desk,” Donchey says at one point during the frightening ordeal. And then she does exactly that.

Friday night’s quake followed a 6.4 earthquake on July 4. The epicenter for both quakes was Ridgecrest in the Searles Valley, about 150 miles north of Los Angeles.
The July 5 quake was the largest to hit the region in 20 years, and was followed by two 5.5 magnitude aftershocks. More could come, the Usgs has warned residents.
In magnitude, Friday night’s quake was significantly larger than the 6.6 Northridge quake in 1994, but it affected a significantly less densely populated area. The extent of the damage appears to be minimal and there are no known fatalities,...

KCAL9 news anchors Juan Fernandez and Sara Donchey were live on air when the Los Angeles area was hit by a powerful earthquake Friday night.
“We are experiencing quite a bit of shaking if you bear with us a moment,” Donchey said during KCAL9’s evening newscast. “We’re making sure nothing is going to come down in the studio here.”
The 7.1 earthquake, whose epicenter was about 125 miles north east from Los Angeles, was felt throughout the city and lasted more than 10 sec. That is visible in the video of Fernandez and Donchey’s reaction.
“This is a very strong earthquake,” Donchey said a few seconds later, grabbing onto Fernandez’s hand. “8:21 here and we’re experiencing very strong shaking. I think we need to get under the desk Juan.”
