OK, big surprise, LA gets an earthquake. (Check out CalTech’s website for the details although I’m shocked the site hasn’t crashed in this crisis.) In a town with no weather, thank goodness we have earthquakes because there wouldn’t be anything else to talk about in the summer when school’s out. So yes, L.A. had a 5.8 (some are saying 5.4) earthquake centered in Chino Hills today. I was working an event in the middle of a handbag auction when the whole place started to shake, gorgeous purses and all, mothers were screaming for their children, not because their children were at the party actually, but they were unable to reach the myriad of nannies battening down our homes. I swear to you I am not joking. Anyway, we’re all ok but evidently there is one building in La La land that has been damaged because it’s the only photo they are showing across the news.
The real devastation came when I realized that the Dr. Phil Show I Tivo’d with this woman who might have a serial killer for a husband was preempted so now I have no tape. No news on when the show will air again and I am extremely upset, to say the least. I was sure that my two year old would’ve been on the ceiling with the whole thing but I returned home, post handbag party, to find out that the housekeeper didn’t even know anything happened. And how was YOUR day?
(Robyn and Katharine, I’ll call you later with the full report of Earthquake: Los Angeles, Death and Destruction; I’m heading out to a meeting. xo)
P.S. The photo above is like from Cambodia or somewhere. I just used it today for dramatic effect.
