Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show. Dig Dog.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
All right, we have one of my favorite guests. She's
on TV right now on Channel five. That must have
been tape because we booked her for four o'clock. She said, yes,
I can't believe it. She's like a She's the celebrity
of earthquakes, the Lebron James, the Michael Jordan of earthquakes,
and she is with us doctor Lucy Jones.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
I'm fine? How were you? Oh?
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Man?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I can't tell you, doctor Jones, how many times this
entire Southland has been rocked by an earthquake and you
came on and you settled nerves? I bet you hear
it every single day when you run into somebody's gas
station or a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I'm not every day, but yees, I have people recognizing these.
I still have to wonder how a research client has
turned into a public figure, and how.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Long you've been doing this. I think I remember you
coming on TV and radio at the at the Whittier
quake in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Am I am? I on the moon or were you
doing it back then?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, that was my first time that I had been
read school and then came to California and at the
end of nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Okay, so eighty seven was your first big earthquake.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, okay, eighty six there was a North Palm Springs earthquake.
But I was pregnant that time.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Right, you're pregnant and I don't live there, so it
was a ding dog on that one. But so last
night I get into earthquake mode. I was in I
was a Walmart in Burbank when it happened. I didn't
feel it, but I got the alert and some of
my friends had got the alert then had two or
three four seconds to react. I think that's that's one
of the most valuable tools your phone can have.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Oh, I absolutely. I worked quite hard when I was
with the USGS to get funding for that system, and
I'm glad to see that it's getting out and getting used.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh it's great. And so I looked up immediately, where
is this thing? Where is this fault? It's a new fault,
but it's very very close. And if I'm not mistaken,
doctor Jones, I think this thing is within a mile
or two of the San Andreas fault.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Oh no, no, it's more I'm telling.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Me what it is my research. I don't know what
your background is, but I did my research.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
No, it's about twenty miles northeast of where the fault is,
so we don't think it's going to affect it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
There's something called the Whitewoot fault that produced magnitude seven
and a half back in nineteen fifty two. That's very
close to this. But there's also something called the wheeler
Ridge fault, and it might be with that. The reality is,
if it's this small, and I'm sorry, but a five
point two really is pretty small, it's unlikely to break
through to the surface, and therefore we can never be
(02:58):
certain what fault is on.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
And is it true that a five point three earthquake
is ten times more powerful than a five point two?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, another miss thirty.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Well it's thirty two times more powerful than a four
point three. So one unit of magnitude, not the point,
not the decimal place, but the full unit that is
a factor of thirty two.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Okay, So then.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
A point would be three point two three, and a half.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Well, right, a point would become like four point three
to five point three.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Right, But so a five point three earthquake is three
times three point two times more powerful than five point two.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
No, it's not linear, Oh it's not. It's all right.
It's five point three to five point one is about
a factor of two.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, But that's still a
big deal. It went on for a long period of time.
Is what does that tell you about about the earthquake?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
People perceived it for a long time. The earthquake itself
only lasted a couple of seconds. But we when we
sit here in the Los Angeles Basin, or actually in
the San Fernando Valley, we're sitting in a bowl of sediment.
The rock goes down deeper and we're filled in with
bert that has come off the mountain front, and that
loose sediment will flosh around when the waves comes through,
(04:27):
and so and there'll be some reverb reverberations that happen
as well. And so when you're in the basins, it
lasts for longer. So when what it's really telling you
is that you're in a location, the tends to amplify
and prolong the shaking.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Okay, doctor Lucy Jones is with us. She knows more
about earthquakes than anybody. Maybe, I don't know, maybe with
the exception of me. And so if you got the
push notification, this is the premiere specialist on earthquakes. Nobody
knows more than doctor Lucy Jones. I have a again,
we'll we find a new fault like that? Is it
(05:02):
sort of like finding a new wave in the ocean.
Are there that many faults out there?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
No, there's not that many. And actually it's not clear
that this is a new fault. Okay, I said, it's
near a mapp fault called the Wheeler Ridge fault. That
it's one of those things that we can't tell you
in the first half hour. It's taken a while to
like relocate the earthquakes and be sure of what's happening.
So we don't think it's a new fault. It's just
a minor fault, you know what. Idn't usually talking.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
About when I was younger, And again, I've been watching
since nineteen eighty seven that that earthquake, that Whitti earthquake,
really knocked us out in the valley. But I don't
remember ever seeing numbers adjusted. When it was a you know,
a six point eight, it was always a six point eight.
When it was a five four is always a five
to four. Now they seem to be projected higher and
(05:47):
then they reduce them, you know, like a five to
eight becomes a five to six, a five to three
becomes a five to one.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Why do you think that is okay?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Because you're asking for it really quickly. Back in the day,
right your narrow we voted on the magnitude. It was
like everything was off scale. This looks like it's about
a six shall we say six, okay? And the final
number came out at five point nine okay. So there
were adjustments, but it all happened over a much longer
time frame. Now with the Internet, with automatic systems, you're
(06:18):
seeing all of the guesswork put out for you instead
of waiting. You know, we didn't used to give out
a number for the first hour. And the other thing
that's happening is this early warning system when it tries
to give you the information before the earthquakes even over right,
it's guessing from what we see in the first three
(06:39):
seconds literally okay, and that turned out to be higher
in this particular case. Remember I said, we were sitting
in these basins and we were seeing a lot of
amplification in the basin, so we actually predicted the intensities
what was the actual shaking quite accurately. But it turned
up tried to create it into a larger magnitude because
(07:00):
it was didn't take into account that these basins were there.
So that really early number came out higher because we
were seeing some strong ground motions in those first few seconds.
And then you know, the final number was in there
within a half hour as all of the different data
came in and we were able to finalize it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Doctor Jones, I saw you on every TV station today.
I heard you on news stations and again you come
on and you and you save people's lives. You save
you know, are people on their last nerve in California anyway,
And when something like this happens, when it's hot outside
and people are fearing that their air conditioning's going out,
it's really nice to come on and listen to somebody
say chance of you dying are almost zero.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Right, which is actually the case even when we're having
a lot of earthquake. Sure, the freeways kill way, more
people got kill way more people. The heat kills way
more people.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's right. Can you stay with us? I know you're
busy or do you have to go? Either way, it's up.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I can say on for a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Oh that's great. Okay, you're one of my favorite guests.
I think we should have a day in celebration of you.
Or do we already that I missed that celebration? Do
we have a day in city of La dedicated to you?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
There was a day named after me the day I
retired from the US Geological Survey that it didn't keep
on every year.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
What day was that? You remember?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
March thirty first.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, we're gonna that's that's now the official day here
at kfive March thirty first, Dr Jones Day. All right,
hold on a second, Doctor Lucy Jones was I've had
a ton more questions about this earthquake last night south
of Bakersfield. We all felt it. I didn't, but a
lot of people did. And we're going to find out
how close this was the San Andreas? What what is
earthquake weather? The early warning you know app on your phone?
(08:49):
What's the what's the longest period of time of warning
you could have Could you have thirty seconds?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Could you have ten seconds? I don't know. Could you
have an hour? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
We'll find out from the specialist. Doctor Lucy Jones is
with us.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Last night, there was an earthquake just south of I
think southwest southwest, yeah, southwest of Bakersfield, and doctor Lucy
Jones is with us. Doctor, I've got a theory that
I hope you can entertain and give me a legitimate answer,
because I think it's a legitimate question. I think that
(09:29):
the state of California, you know, more than any other
state we have. We've bought into ozembic. We're losing a
lot of weight, and that weight is affecting California and
we're moving around.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Oh yeah, you really think all this? I know, we
have a lot of people in a lot of ways
to really think they weigh more than all the rocks
we have here.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Uh have you seen the crew some people out there?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, Well, sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, next my next question for your earthquake weather.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
We've got to go through that for people who still
believe even though.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well, all right, we I was wondering when I was
going to get an earthquake weather question, given it's been hot.
I will just say that every culture in the world
with earthquakes has a tradition of earthquake weather, but it's
whatever weather they had for the most memorable earth quake, okay,
And the tradition began here in California from the Wittier
Narrows earthquake. Of course, it was on October first, And
(10:23):
what do we usually have as our weather In late
September we had a fan anti right.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
What about nineteen seventy one? Do you go that far back?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Because I remember, I think I was, you know, I
was only like eight years old, but I distinctly remember
that earthquake.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Well, I was in high school, but I happened to
be visiting my aunt and uncle in Taiwan that year
rather than staying in Los Angeles, so I only heard
about it through the international news that Los Angeles had
been destroyed in an earthquakes.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, so you missed the super Bowl of earthquakes as
a child.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Oh well, yes, for that time period, I will say
that the you know, northwards was actually more damaging because
even it was the same size as seventy one, but
it was closer to people.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's true. You know, doctor Jones.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Between nineteen ninety four, right after the Northridge quake until
twenty fourteen is a twenty year period, and only two
people died in the state of California in that twenty
year period after the Northardge quake, and I think Bothimore
and Kolinga, I believe where brick wall fell down on
a couple of people, but between but for those twenty years,
two people died in California. And so in that twenty
(11:33):
year period, you had the same chance of being killed
by OJ Simpson. Yet people don't go to bed thinking
they're going to be killed by O. J.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Simpson.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Why do you think the fear is so radical when
most people don't know anybody injured or anybody that's been
killed in an earthquake.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I've actually been studying this with some psychologists, and we
are more afraid of things we don't see coming quick,
of things that are not predicted earthquakes, and we feel
out of control. So when we feel out of control,
it becomes scarier. In fact, heat kills way more Californians
(12:10):
than earthquakes, and even if you look at the last
one hundred and fifty years, we've killed more people in
rain related events floods and landslides than we have on earthquakes.
But you see the rain coming and you get a
prediction for it. Who's a grave of the rain?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I think it's really the unpredictability. I think it's also
the reason that we have all of these traditions of
earthquake weather and earthquakes in the early morning and all
of these other or earthquake from mose Ethachs, people make
up because it makes you feel a bit more in control.
It makes you feel like they're that it's somehow safer.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And doctor Jones, what is the maximum time that a
person can have who's like the furthest from the epicenter?
With this, you know, with earthquake alert apps, can somebody
get thirty seconds worth of an alert?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yes, but then you're probably not going to be having
any damage. Oh I see, yeah, right, Well the one exception, right,
So a bigger earthquake happens on a longer fault. So
when the San Andreas goes and we have two hundred
miles of fault producing energy, you can be two hundred
miles away from the epicenter and still on top of
the earthquake if you're near the fault.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
So in that situation, like we've worked it out for
the city of Los Angeles, if the San Andrea's earthquake
begins down by the Salt and Sea in ruptures to
the north and then there's like forty five seconds of
warning before the storm shaking gets into La. The problem
is that the first warning is going to say, Oh,
an earthquake's begun down in India, and you're going to think, hey,
(13:41):
that's not going to affect me, right, And it's in
those first three seconds that we're trying to send out
the early warning we aren't going to see that it's
becoming a magnitu date and so we're going to have
to send updates. Hey, yeah, the earthquake's coming in. It's
sending out. It's going to be bigger. So now you're
going to be getting intended epix shaking. Oh wait a minute,
it's getting closer. Now you're going to be getting into
seven shaking. So we will actually be getting a warning
(14:04):
with something like thirty seconds that we're getting strong shaking.
We've got to have not had people like discount it.
Because of these updates, it's going to be the challenge.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And the two plates that are meeting along the San
Andreas fault. Is the one to the west going under
the one that's the east or is it the opposite.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Neither's going under the other. They're going side by side
the transform fault. So the Pacific Ocean is moving to
the northwest compared to North America that's moving to the southeast.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Okay, and so that fault is not exactly north south.
But but you know in our minds, yeah, okay, so
is it the best when that big one hits, Is
it better to be on the west side of that
of that fault.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Or the east side.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
It won't matter, it'll radiate out equally. What will matter
is whether the ruptures. I said that rupture begins at
a point and then ruptures down the fault. Just like
when you tear a piece of paper, you don't tear
it all at once. You start it went in and
rip it down. Takes less energy to do that. So
it'll start at a point and rupture either from the
(15:09):
south going north, if it's the north going south, and
if it's pointing towards you, you get a lot more
shaking than if it's pointing away from you. You know,
I've always going away from you. It'll lie longer, but
not having so intense.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Wow, that is interesting.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I've always told my friends, you know, when they always ask, hey,
is this the big one? And maybe you can tell
me if I'm right or wrong? But I always tell them,
when the big one comes, you won't.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Have to ask.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
It'll be pretty different. I mean, that's two hundred miles
on the Sant Andreas ball. The Earth will be producing
energy for one hundred seconds.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Oh God, that right.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Oh Debra Marks probably pulled over and gone to the
bathroom somewhere.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Okay, I really appreciate you coming on. I also heard.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Somebody say today, did this earth? This San Andreas fault
runs pretty close to Lancaster?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Yes? Lancaster is about ten twenty miles north of the
San Andres. It runs through Palmdale Lake. Okay, so wish
to go over Route fourteen. We've crossed Palmdale Lake. That's
right where the San Andrea is it?
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So when the big one hits and Lancaster gets wiped out,
that could cost six seven hundred thousand dollars worth of damage.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Oh that's a joke.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
That's a joke. I love the people out there. I'm
a Lancaster, all right, doctor, I really appreciate coming on.
We're going to start celebrating March thirty first from now
on and in honor of you.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
But are you enjoying retirement?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, so I can't exactly call this retirement. I'm still
writing books and doing some consulting and talking with media
when I.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Need to, and coming on with idiots when there's an earthquake.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Yeah, we've got to help people understand this. Right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I really appreciate.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Doctor.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Very nice to hear your voice and talk to you
in person.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Okay, thanks Lott, thank you.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
There she goes, doctor Lucy Jones. She's the best. She
is simply the best.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I challenge you to give me a more important person
in Los Angeles, man or woman over the last forty years.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You give me one. Good luck.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
The earthquake last night. A lot of people were talking
about it. There was a shake alert. If you had
a shake alert, then you got a couple of seconds
warning and notified before the actual your house started shaking.
And that's a big deal, you know, if you can
get four or five seconds warning.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
Hers were rattled while homes and businesses were jolted just
after nine o'clock Tuesday night, when a five point two
magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of six miles centered
nearly fourteen miles south of Baker's Feel.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Now, let's everybody wants to know where everybody was. Did
you feel it?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Bellio?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Did you feel it?
Speaker 9 (18:04):
I did not feel it?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
All right, Stephanu. You were here when it happened, right,
I sure was. Did you feel it?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Absolutely?
Speaker 11 (18:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
The whole building shook out. Oh yeah, well this building's
on rollers.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It kind of felt like we were almost on a boat,
Like it was just rocking back and forth. It was weird.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Well, I think i'll pull the reaction from everyone.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I don't like the rollers. It's too long, you know.
I like to just jolt and good night, you know.
I don't like to be rolling for you know, four days.
Did you feel it, Andrew Caravella?
Speaker 11 (18:31):
I did. I was on my couch watching Netflix, and
then at night my living room turned into a ride.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I was like, look at this. Wow, do you have dogs?
You have pets?
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I do?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I have dogs and cats.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
And my cat was actually going around in little circles,
so I knew something weird was happening. And then five
minutes later there was an earthquake. Wow, my cat issye kick?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yes, all right, so on the couch with a cat
watching Netflix? Yes, I know what life you put together
for yourself. Victorville's all right, Angel, what's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Did you feel it? Your bird go crazy? Your dog
go nuts?
Speaker 9 (19:06):
You know, nothing happened. I was a little disappointed. I
didn't feel it. The bird didn't freak out, the dog
was sleeping.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Rather be in Andrew's house. Huh, I's got it. Some
action going on too, Keiki, did you feel it?
Speaker 9 (19:22):
I did?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Where were you?
Speaker 9 (19:24):
I was in Fullerton at home?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well you felt in Fullerton? That's a long round.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Did you get the app? The warning?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
I didn't get. I didn't have the app and I
didn't get the warning. But as soon as I felt
myself swaying on the couch, I knew there was an earthquake.
Well then I just kept watching TV because what am
I going to do Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I got it, I got it all right. I was disappointed.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
I was in Walmart in Burdbank when it happened, and
my wife and I both got the text alert and
we both looked at it and like, wow, there's a
big earthquake, and neither one of us felt it, and
nobody in Walmart felt it or reacted to it. And
then literally, I like two hours later, at eleven o'clock,
I'm watching the news, I think it was Channel four
(20:05):
or five or seven, and they had a woman reporter
in the parking lot of Walmart in Burbank, exactly where
I was when that earthquake happened, and people are like, oh, yeah,
it was crazy. Yeah, you know, I felt it. The
whole building was shaking. I'm like, what I was in
that building?
Speaker 9 (20:23):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I felt? Nothing, weird, nothing, you know.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
It's funny you bring up Walmart again.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
I got quite a few emails from people from listeners.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
All the Yeah, they they don't believe you were in Walmart.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
And they actually because they're like, why does he always
say he's in Walmart? Is he trying to be relatable?
Is he trying to you know, like he's everyday guy?
So I think people don't believe you.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Okay, that you were in Walmart. Okay, okay, let's calm down.
Here's what I can do. I won't, but here's what
I could do. I could show you the receipt from
last night. I could also go to Walmart. I know
the head of security there. His name is Mondo by
the way, and he could pull video and I and
at some point I will be on video in Walmart
(21:08):
last night.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
I do that.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, I want to do that.
Speaker 11 (21:10):
I mean, does Tim come off more as a Target
guy than a Walmart guy or.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Like, I don't know, maybe a Nordstrom's guy. I'd love
I was in Sacks Fifth Avenue when.
Speaker 12 (21:20):
This ends, you bought six shirts from Costco yesterday before.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Okay, here's what I'll do. I'm not going to go
pull the video, and I'm not going to show you
my receipt.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
But prove it though.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
But yeah, if anybody wants to challenge me financially, like,
make me make.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
A wager on it.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Everything's a wager with this guy.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
If you want to bet me a thousand dollars that
I was not in Walmart, I'll take that wager and
then I'll get your video. I'll get you the receipt
and then i'll take your money from you.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
What would the max bet be?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You name it? Five hundred thousand million, doesn't matter. I
was in Walmart.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
You've got receipts.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Why would I brag that I'm in Walmart at nine
o'clock at night?
Speaker 12 (21:56):
Because they think you're trying to be like the everyday
guy relatable?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Is that right? All right? Well I ate it Sharky's.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I got the receipt from that place, and I also
got the you know, the the still.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
What what what?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
What?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
What do you get?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
No?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
No, no, keep going.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I got the I got Sharkys.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
What did you have it?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Sharky's.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I had the chicken tiketos all the cart and they're
done beautifully.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Whoever cooked them last night? Man?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
It was great.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
They were good. It was hot sharks At What time?
Was that at Sharky's?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It was the receipt will probably say we left there
at eight fifty one and then drove over to Walmart,
and was it was in Walmart when it happened, So.
Speaker 12 (22:40):
You weren't at Sharky's at nine ten? You were in
Walmart for.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Sure, that's right, because we left sharkys at nine at
eight to fifty one.
Speaker 12 (22:46):
But yet all the people in the parking lot felt
the earthquake, but you inside did not.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (22:52):
This would be a non issue if you just posted
to Instagram when it happened to him?
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Yeah, why didn't you record this?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I didn't feel the FN thing. Do you remember?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
I don't listen to you really because.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
The same one.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Remember me saying like nine times I didn't feel it?
Then that's what the instagram should have been. I didn't
feel it. Yeah, but how often? But you could do
that every ten minutes? Oh yeah, guess what else I
didn't feel. I'm in Bob's Big Boy, not feeling anything.
Why does this guy keep posting this crack?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
At least it would prove you are where you say
you are.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'll get your receipts, I'll get your video, and I'll
but I get to shove them. I get to crumble
them up and stick them in the throat of the
people who emailed.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
There's like, yeah, a lot, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'll get a lot of receipts.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Yeah, you better get a lot of receipts.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'll show you the receipts. I buy my wife.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
She won't lie. She'll she'll tell you that she was
with me. You know, there's gonna be embarrassment, but now
she's not gonna lie. All right, very good?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
What a night. And I turned in k IF.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I write it immediately when I found out there was
an earthquake, and man, Moe was right on it. He
was right on it, taking calls talking about the epicenter.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I learned a lot. And then everybody emailed or text
where they were when they felt it.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Shannon Fahren, Chris Little, you know who else, save Adra,
And I'm like, oh, I felt bad that I wasn't
involved with that, but again I did not feel it.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
If you're listening to KFI last night during that big
earthquake just south of Bakersfield, this is exactly how it
sounded on the Moe Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
They haven't raised their prices.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Mark has actually found some good stuff on YouTube for freeze.
I don't know, Oh, there's no question, do you we
just have an earthquake? I felt something, Oh yeah, well
we're having an earthquake right now.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I just felt to it and it's still going. Yeah, okay,
so that's not Oh yeah, that's a good one. All right,
there we go. Oh yeah, that's definitely a five. Oh
it's still going, still gone. We're live.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Okay, this is from last night. Don't flip This is
from last night. Audio from last night as an earthquake
is transpiring live on air. It's still going from last night,
not now, about twelve hours, fourteen hours.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Ago, maybe twenty hours ago, but not now. We are
rocking and rolling, were not now. That's something I'm gonna
see what we can find.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, okay, switch gears and find out where that earthquake was.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
It's still going. It was going, it's not going anymore.
Don't flip out because people flip out when they hear it.
Turn on the radio and we're saying, oh, there's an
earthquake just from last night.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
This has to be one of the longest earthquakes I've
ever experienced, just in terms of duration.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
No, nothing's fallen yet, and it's considerable that that was
a pretty long one.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So let's find out where that earthquake was.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We get on Twitter, something like an earthquake bot should
have that information. We're just tuned into KFI AM six
forur We just had, I would say, a significant earthquake
that we all felt in the studio. So if you're wondering,
was there an earthquake in southern California, most definitely, And
we are now efforting five point six five points right now,
(26:17):
it's saying it's five point six.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Do they have a tentative epicenter.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Right now it's saying twenty one miles from Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, So five point six tentatively how far from Bakersfield?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Twenty one miles from Bakersfield?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So if you're just tuning in, yes, we are on
the earthquake. We're getting the preliminary reading of five point six.
And if you listen to later with Mo Kelly, we
kid about Hey, if it's not at least a five,
we're not going to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well, that was a five plus five point six.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
And I said it even before we even knew what
the caliber or you know, the strength of the earthquake.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Five point six is considerable. Yes, five point six.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
And it was downgrade too, I think a five two
two five two Okay, but that was great. That was
great coverage last night with Mo Kelly and his whole crew.
They were on top of it, on top of it.
And this is one of the safest buildings in Los Angeles.
It's on rollers. If the Big one hits, I'd like
to be in this building, rolling around back and forth
(27:25):
for one hundred seconds. As doctor Jones said, crap will
be falling on you for a hundred seconds when the
Big one hits, and I'll just be rolling. If it
happens between four and seven, I'll be rolling around watching
the whole city collapse out my.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Window from Walmart.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, I dare you? How dare you? All Right?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We're live. We all made it. Nobody died in that earthquake,
so we won. We're live on KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Forty Conway show, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Now you can always
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Hear us live on KFI AM six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
It's camp.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show. Dig Dog.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
All right, we have one of my favorite guests. She's
on TV right now on Channel five. That must have
been tape because we booked her for four o'clock. She said, yes,
I can't believe it. She's like a She's the celebrity
of earthquakes, the Lebron James, the Michael Jordan of earthquakes,
and she is with us doctor Lucy Jones.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
I'm fine? How were you? Oh?
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Man?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I can't tell you, doctor Jones, how many times this
entire Southland has been rocked by an earthquake and you
came on and you settled nerves? I bet you hear
it every single day when you run into somebody's gas
station or a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I'm not every day, but yees, I have people recognizing these.
I still have to wonder how a research client has
turned into a public figure, and how.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Long you've been doing this. I think I remember you
coming on TV and radio at the at the Whittier
quake in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Am I am? I on the moon or were you
doing it back then?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, that was my first time that I had been
read school and then came to California and at the
end of nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Okay, so eighty seven was your first big earthquake.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, okay, eighty six there was a North Palm Springs earthquake.
But I was pregnant that time.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Right, you're pregnant and I don't live there, so it
was a ding dog on that one. But so last
night I get into earthquake mode. I was in I
was a Walmart in Burbank when it happened. I didn't
feel it, but I got the alert and some of
my friends had got the alert then had two or
three four seconds to react. I think that's that's one
of the most valuable tools your phone can have.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Oh, I absolutely. I worked quite hard when I was
with the USGS to get funding for that system, and
I'm glad to see that it's getting out and getting used.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh it's great. And so I looked up immediately, where
is this thing? Where is this fault? It's a new fault,
but it's very very close. And if I'm not mistaken,
doctor Jones, I think this thing is within a mile
or two of the San Andreas fault.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Oh no, no, it's more I'm telling.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Me what it is my research. I don't know what
your background is, but I did my research.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
No, it's about twenty miles northeast of where the fault is,
so we don't think it's going to affect it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
There's something called the Whitewoot fault that produced magnitude seven
and a half back in nineteen fifty two. That's very
close to this. But there's also something called the wheeler
Ridge fault, and it might be with that. The reality is,
if it's this small, and I'm sorry, but a five
point two really is pretty small, it's unlikely to break
through to the surface, and therefore we can never be
(02:58):
certain what fault is on.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
And is it true that a five point three earthquake
is ten times more powerful than a five point two?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, another miss thirty.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Well it's thirty two times more powerful than a four
point three. So one unit of magnitude, not the point,
not the decimal place, but the full unit that is
a factor of thirty two.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Okay, So then.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
A point would be three point two three, and a half.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Well, right, a point would become like four point three
to five point three.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Right, But so a five point three earthquake is three
times three point two times more powerful than five point two.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
No, it's not linear, Oh it's not. It's all right.
It's five point three to five point one is about
a factor of two.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, But that's still a
big deal. It went on for a long period of time.
Is what does that tell you about about the earthquake?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
People perceived it for a long time. The earthquake itself
only lasted a couple of seconds. But we when we
sit here in the Los Angeles Basin, or actually in
the San Fernando Valley, we're sitting in a bowl of sediment.
The rock goes down deeper and we're filled in with
bert that has come off the mountain front, and that
loose sediment will flosh around when the waves comes through,
(04:27):
and so and there'll be some reverb reverberations that happen
as well. And so when you're in the basins, it
lasts for longer. So when what it's really telling you
is that you're in a location, the tends to amplify
and prolong the shaking.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Okay, doctor Lucy Jones is with us. She knows more
about earthquakes than anybody. Maybe, I don't know, maybe with
the exception of me. And so if you got the
push notification, this is the premiere specialist on earthquakes. Nobody
knows more than doctor Lucy Jones. I have a again,
we'll we find a new fault like that? Is it
(05:02):
sort of like finding a new wave in the ocean.
Are there that many faults out there?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
No, there's not that many. And actually it's not clear
that this is a new fault. Okay, I said, it's
near a mapp fault called the Wheeler Ridge fault. That
it's one of those things that we can't tell you
in the first half hour. It's taken a while to
like relocate the earthquakes and be sure of what's happening.
So we don't think it's a new fault. It's just
a minor fault, you know what. Idn't usually talking.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
About when I was younger, And again, I've been watching
since nineteen eighty seven that that earthquake, that Whitti earthquake,
really knocked us out in the valley. But I don't
remember ever seeing numbers adjusted. When it was a you know,
a six point eight, it was always a six point eight.
When it was a five four is always a five
to four. Now they seem to be projected higher and
(05:47):
then they reduce them, you know, like a five to
eight becomes a five to six, a five to three
becomes a five to one.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Why do you think that is okay?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Because you're asking for it really quickly. Back in the day,
right your narrow we voted on the magnitude. It was
like everything was off scale. This looks like it's about
a six shall we say six, okay? And the final
number came out at five point nine okay. So there
were adjustments, but it all happened over a much longer
time frame. Now with the Internet, with automatic systems, you're
(06:18):
seeing all of the guesswork put out for you instead
of waiting. You know, we didn't used to give out
a number for the first hour. And the other thing
that's happening is this early warning system when it tries
to give you the information before the earthquakes even over right,
it's guessing from what we see in the first three
(06:39):
seconds literally okay, and that turned out to be higher
in this particular case. Remember I said, we were sitting
in these basins and we were seeing a lot of
amplification in the basin, so we actually predicted the intensities
what was the actual shaking quite accurately. But it turned
up tried to create it into a larger magnitude because
(07:00):
it was didn't take into account that these basins were there.
So that really early number came out higher because we
were seeing some strong ground motions in those first few seconds.
And then you know, the final number was in there
within a half hour as all of the different data
came in and we were able to finalize it.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Doctor Jones, I saw you on every TV station today.
I heard you on news stations and again you come
on and you and you save people's lives. You save
you know, are people on their last nerve in California anyway,
And when something like this happens, when it's hot outside
and people are fearing that their air conditioning's going out,
it's really nice to come on and listen to somebody
say chance of you dying are almost zero.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Right, which is actually the case even when we're having
a lot of earthquake. Sure, the freeways kill way, more
people got kill way more people. The heat kills way
more people.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's right. Can you stay with us? I know you're
busy or do you have to go? Either way, it's up.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I can say on for a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Oh that's great. Okay, you're one of my favorite guests.
I think we should have a day in celebration of you.
Or do we already that I missed that celebration? Do
we have a day in city of La dedicated to you?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
There was a day named after me the day I
retired from the US Geological Survey that it didn't keep
on every year.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
What day was that? You remember?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
March thirty first.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, we're gonna that's that's now the official day here
at kfive March thirty first, Dr Jones Day. All right,
hold on a second, Doctor Lucy Jones was I've had
a ton more questions about this earthquake last night south
of Bakersfield. We all felt it. I didn't, but a
lot of people did. And we're going to find out
how close this was the San Andreas? What what is
earthquake weather? The early warning you know app on your phone?
(08:49):
What's the what's the longest period of time of warning
you could have Could you have thirty seconds?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Could you have ten seconds? I don't know. Could you
have an hour? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
We'll find out from the specialist. Doctor Lucy Jones is
with us.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Last night, there was an earthquake just south of I
think southwest southwest, yeah, southwest of Bakersfield, and doctor Lucy
Jones is with us. Doctor, I've got a theory that
I hope you can entertain and give me a legitimate answer,
because I think it's a legitimate question. I think that
(09:29):
the state of California, you know, more than any other
state we have. We've bought into ozembic. We're losing a
lot of weight, and that weight is affecting California and
we're moving around.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Oh yeah, you really think all this? I know, we
have a lot of people in a lot of ways
to really think they weigh more than all the rocks
we have here.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Uh have you seen the crew some people out there?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, Well, sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, next my next question for your earthquake weather.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
We've got to go through that for people who still
believe even though.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well, all right, we I was wondering when I was
going to get an earthquake weather question, given it's been hot.
I will just say that every culture in the world
with earthquakes has a tradition of earthquake weather, but it's
whatever weather they had for the most memorable earth quake, okay,
And the tradition began here in California from the Wittier
Narrows earthquake. Of course, it was on October first, And
(10:23):
what do we usually have as our weather In late
September we had a fan anti right.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
What about nineteen seventy one? Do you go that far back?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Because I remember, I think I was, you know, I
was only like eight years old, but I distinctly remember
that earthquake.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Well, I was in high school, but I happened to
be visiting my aunt and uncle in Taiwan that year
rather than staying in Los Angeles, so I only heard
about it through the international news that Los Angeles had
been destroyed in an earthquakes.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, so you missed the super Bowl of earthquakes as
a child.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Oh well, yes, for that time period, I will say
that the you know, northwards was actually more damaging because
even it was the same size as seventy one, but
it was closer to people.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's true. You know, doctor Jones.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Between nineteen ninety four, right after the Northridge quake until
twenty fourteen is a twenty year period, and only two
people died in the state of California in that twenty
year period after the Northardge quake, and I think Bothimore
and Kolinga, I believe where brick wall fell down on
a couple of people, but between but for those twenty years,
two people died in California. And so in that twenty
(11:33):
year period, you had the same chance of being killed
by OJ Simpson. Yet people don't go to bed thinking
they're going to be killed by O. J.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Simpson.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Why do you think the fear is so radical when
most people don't know anybody injured or anybody that's been
killed in an earthquake.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I've actually been studying this with some psychologists, and we
are more afraid of things we don't see coming quick,
of things that are not predicted earthquakes, and we feel
out of control. So when we feel out of control,
it becomes scarier. In fact, heat kills way more Californians
(12:10):
than earthquakes, and even if you look at the last
one hundred and fifty years, we've killed more people in
rain related events floods and landslides than we have on earthquakes.
But you see the rain coming and you get a
prediction for it. Who's a grave of the rain?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I think it's really the unpredictability. I think it's also
the reason that we have all of these traditions of
earthquake weather and earthquakes in the early morning and all
of these other or earthquake from mose Ethachs, people make
up because it makes you feel a bit more in control.
It makes you feel like they're that it's somehow safer.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And doctor Jones, what is the maximum time that a
person can have who's like the furthest from the epicenter?
With this, you know, with earthquake alert apps, can somebody
get thirty seconds worth of an alert?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Yes, but then you're probably not going to be having
any damage. Oh I see, yeah, right, Well the one exception, right,
So a bigger earthquake happens on a longer fault. So
when the San Andreas goes and we have two hundred
miles of fault producing energy, you can be two hundred
miles away from the epicenter and still on top of
the earthquake if you're near the fault.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
So in that situation, like we've worked it out for
the city of Los Angeles, if the San Andrea's earthquake
begins down by the Salt and Sea in ruptures to
the north and then there's like forty five seconds of
warning before the storm shaking gets into La. The problem
is that the first warning is going to say, Oh,
an earthquake's begun down in India, and you're going to think, hey,
(13:41):
that's not going to affect me, right, And it's in
those first three seconds that we're trying to send out
the early warning we aren't going to see that it's
becoming a magnitu date and so we're going to have
to send updates. Hey, yeah, the earthquake's coming in. It's
sending out. It's going to be bigger. So now you're
going to be getting intended epix shaking. Oh wait a minute,
it's getting closer. Now you're going to be getting into
seven shaking. So we will actually be getting a warning
(14:04):
with something like thirty seconds that we're getting strong shaking.
We've got to have not had people like discount it.
Because of these updates, it's going to be the challenge.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And the two plates that are meeting along the San
Andreas fault. Is the one to the west going under
the one that's the east or is it the opposite.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Neither's going under the other. They're going side by side
the transform fault. So the Pacific Ocean is moving to
the northwest compared to North America that's moving to the southeast.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Okay, and so that fault is not exactly north south.
But but you know in our minds, yeah, okay, so
is it the best when that big one hits, Is
it better to be on the west side of that
of that fault.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Or the east side.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
It won't matter, it'll radiate out equally. What will matter
is whether the ruptures. I said that rupture begins at
a point and then ruptures down the fault. Just like
when you tear a piece of paper, you don't tear
it all at once. You start it went in and
rip it down. Takes less energy to do that. So
it'll start at a point and rupture either from the
(15:09):
south going north, if it's the north going south, and
if it's pointing towards you, you get a lot more
shaking than if it's pointing away from you. You know,
I've always going away from you. It'll lie longer, but
not having so intense.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Wow, that is interesting.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I've always told my friends, you know, when they always ask, hey,
is this the big one? And maybe you can tell
me if I'm right or wrong? But I always tell them,
when the big one comes, you won't.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Have to ask.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
It'll be pretty different. I mean, that's two hundred miles
on the Sant Andreas ball. The Earth will be producing
energy for one hundred seconds.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Oh God, that right.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Oh Debra Marks probably pulled over and gone to the
bathroom somewhere.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Okay, I really appreciate you coming on. I also heard.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Somebody say today, did this earth? This San Andreas fault
runs pretty close to Lancaster?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Yes? Lancaster is about ten twenty miles north of the
San Andres. It runs through Palmdale Lake. Okay, so wish
to go over Route fourteen. We've crossed Palmdale Lake. That's
right where the San Andrea is it?
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So when the big one hits and Lancaster gets wiped out,
that could cost six seven hundred thousand dollars worth of damage.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Oh that's a joke.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
That's a joke. I love the people out there. I'm
a Lancaster, all right, doctor, I really appreciate coming on.
We're going to start celebrating March thirty first from now
on and in honor of you.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
But are you enjoying retirement?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Yeah, so I can't exactly call this retirement. I'm still
writing books and doing some consulting and talking with media
when I.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Need to, and coming on with idiots when there's an earthquake.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Yeah, we've got to help people understand this. Right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I really appreciate.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
Doctor.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Very nice to hear your voice and talk to you
in person.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Okay, thanks Lott, thank you.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
There she goes, doctor Lucy Jones. She's the best. She
is simply the best.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I challenge you to give me a more important person
in Los Angeles, man or woman over the last forty years.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You give me one. Good luck.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
The earthquake last night. A lot of people were talking
about it. There was a shake alert. If you had
a shake alert, then you got a couple of seconds
warning and notified before the actual your house started shaking.
And that's a big deal, you know, if you can
get four or five seconds warning.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
Hers were rattled while homes and businesses were jolted just
after nine o'clock Tuesday night, when a five point two
magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of six miles centered
nearly fourteen miles south of Baker's Feel.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Now, let's everybody wants to know where everybody was. Did
you feel it?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Bellio?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Did you feel it?
Speaker 9 (18:04):
I did not feel it?
Speaker 4 (18:05):
All right, Stephanu. You were here when it happened, right,
I sure was. Did you feel it?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Absolutely?
Speaker 11 (18:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:10):
The whole building shook out. Oh yeah, well this building's
on rollers.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It kind of felt like we were almost on a boat,
Like it was just rocking back and forth. It was weird.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Well, I think i'll pull the reaction from everyone.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
I don't like the rollers. It's too long, you know.
I like to just jolt and good night, you know.
I don't like to be rolling for you know, four days.
Did you feel it, Andrew Caravella?
Speaker 11 (18:31):
I did. I was on my couch watching Netflix, and
then at night my living room turned into a ride.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I was like, look at this. Wow, do you have dogs?
You have pets?
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I do?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I have dogs and cats.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
And my cat was actually going around in little circles,
so I knew something weird was happening. And then five
minutes later there was an earthquake. Wow, my cat issye kick?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yes, all right, so on the couch with a cat
watching Netflix? Yes, I know what life you put together
for yourself. Victorville's all right, Angel, what's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Did you feel it? Your bird go crazy? Your dog
go nuts?
Speaker 9 (19:06):
You know, nothing happened. I was a little disappointed. I
didn't feel it. The bird didn't freak out, the dog
was sleeping.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Rather be in Andrew's house. Huh, I's got it. Some
action going on too, Keiki, did you feel it?
Speaker 9 (19:22):
I did?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Where were you?
Speaker 9 (19:24):
I was in Fullerton at home?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well you felt in Fullerton? That's a long round.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Did you get the app? The warning?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
I didn't get. I didn't have the app and I
didn't get the warning. But as soon as I felt
myself swaying on the couch, I knew there was an earthquake.
Well then I just kept watching TV because what am
I going to do Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I got it, I got it all right. I was disappointed.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
I was in Walmart in Burdbank when it happened, and
my wife and I both got the text alert and
we both looked at it and like, wow, there's a
big earthquake, and neither one of us felt it, and
nobody in Walmart felt it or reacted to it. And
then literally, I like two hours later, at eleven o'clock,
I'm watching the news, I think it was Channel four
(20:05):
or five or seven, and they had a woman reporter
in the parking lot of Walmart in Burbank, exactly where
I was when that earthquake happened, and people are like, oh, yeah,
it was crazy. Yeah, you know, I felt it. The
whole building was shaking. I'm like, what I was in
that building?
Speaker 9 (20:23):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I felt? Nothing, weird, nothing, you know.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
It's funny you bring up Walmart again.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
I got quite a few emails from people from listeners.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
All the Yeah, they they don't believe you were in Walmart.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
And they actually because they're like, why does he always
say he's in Walmart? Is he trying to be relatable?
Is he trying to you know, like he's everyday guy?
So I think people don't believe you.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Okay, that you were in Walmart. Okay, okay, let's calm down.
Here's what I can do. I won't, but here's what
I could do. I could show you the receipt from
last night. I could also go to Walmart. I know
the head of security there. His name is Mondo by
the way, and he could pull video and I and
at some point I will be on video in Walmart
(21:08):
last night.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
I do that.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Well, I want to do that.
Speaker 11 (21:10):
I mean, does Tim come off more as a Target
guy than a Walmart guy or.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Like, I don't know, maybe a Nordstrom's guy. I'd love
I was in Sacks Fifth Avenue when.
Speaker 12 (21:20):
This ends, you bought six shirts from Costco yesterday before.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Okay, here's what I'll do. I'm not going to go
pull the video, and I'm not going to show you
my receipt.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
But prove it though.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
But yeah, if anybody wants to challenge me financially, like,
make me make.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
A wager on it.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Everything's a wager with this guy.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
If you want to bet me a thousand dollars that
I was not in Walmart, I'll take that wager and
then I'll get your video. I'll get you the receipt
and then i'll take your money from you.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
What would the max bet be?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You name it? Five hundred thousand million, doesn't matter. I
was in Walmart.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
You've got receipts.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Why would I brag that I'm in Walmart at nine
o'clock at night?
Speaker 12 (21:56):
Because they think you're trying to be like the everyday
guy relatable?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Is that right? All right? Well I ate it Sharky's.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I got the receipt from that place, and I also
got the you know, the the still.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
What what what?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
What?
Speaker 9 (22:11):
What do you get?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
No?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
No, no, keep going.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I got the I got Sharkys.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
What did you have it?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Sharky's.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I had the chicken tiketos all the cart and they're
done beautifully.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Whoever cooked them last night? Man?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
It was great.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
They were good. It was hot sharks At What time?
Was that at Sharky's?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It was the receipt will probably say we left there
at eight fifty one and then drove over to Walmart,
and was it was in Walmart when it happened, So.
Speaker 12 (22:40):
You weren't at Sharky's at nine ten? You were in
Walmart for.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Sure, that's right, because we left sharkys at nine at
eight to fifty one.
Speaker 12 (22:46):
But yet all the people in the parking lot felt
the earthquake, but you inside did not.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (22:52):
This would be a non issue if you just posted
to Instagram when it happened to him?
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Yeah, why didn't you record this?
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I didn't feel the FN thing. Do you remember?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
I don't listen to you really because.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
The same one.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Remember me saying like nine times I didn't feel it?
Then that's what the instagram should have been. I didn't
feel it. Yeah, but how often? But you could do
that every ten minutes? Oh yeah, guess what else I
didn't feel. I'm in Bob's Big Boy, not feeling anything.
Why does this guy keep posting this crack?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
At least it would prove you are where you say
you are.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'll get your receipts, I'll get your video, and I'll
but I get to shove them. I get to crumble
them up and stick them in the throat of the
people who emailed.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
There's like, yeah, a lot, Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'll get a lot of receipts.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Yeah, you better get a lot of receipts.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'll show you the receipts. I buy my wife.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
She won't lie. She'll she'll tell you that she was
with me. You know, there's gonna be embarrassment, but now
she's not gonna lie. All right, very good?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
What a night. And I turned in k IF.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I write it immediately when I found out there was
an earthquake, and man, Moe was right on it. He
was right on it, taking calls talking about the epicenter.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I learned a lot. And then everybody emailed or text
where they were when they felt it.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Shannon Fahren, Chris Little, you know who else, save Adra,
And I'm like, oh, I felt bad that I wasn't
involved with that, but again I did not feel it.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
If you're listening to KFI last night during that big
earthquake just south of Bakersfield, this is exactly how it
sounded on the Moe Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
They haven't raised their prices.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Mark has actually found some good stuff on YouTube for freeze.
I don't know, Oh, there's no question, do you we
just have an earthquake? I felt something, Oh yeah, well
we're having an earthquake right now.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I just felt to it and it's still going. Yeah, okay,
so that's not Oh yeah, that's a good one. All right,
there we go. Oh yeah, that's definitely a five. Oh
it's still going, still gone. We're live.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Okay, this is from last night. Don't flip This is
from last night. Audio from last night as an earthquake
is transpiring live on air. It's still going from last night,
not now, about twelve hours, fourteen hours.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Ago, maybe twenty hours ago, but not now. We are
rocking and rolling, were not now. That's something I'm gonna
see what we can find.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, okay, switch gears and find out where that earthquake was.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
It's still going. It was going, it's not going anymore.
Don't flip out because people flip out when they hear it.
Turn on the radio and we're saying, oh, there's an
earthquake just from last night.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
This has to be one of the longest earthquakes I've
ever experienced, just in terms of duration.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
No, nothing's fallen yet, and it's considerable that that was
a pretty long one.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So let's find out where that earthquake was.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
We get on Twitter, something like an earthquake bot should
have that information. We're just tuned into KFI AM six
forur We just had, I would say, a significant earthquake
that we all felt in the studio. So if you're wondering,
was there an earthquake in southern California, most definitely, And
we are now efforting five point six five points right now,
(26:17):
it's saying it's five point six.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Do they have a tentative epicenter.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Right now it's saying twenty one miles from Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, So five point six tentatively how far from Bakersfield?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Twenty one miles from Bakersfield?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So if you're just tuning in, yes, we are on
the earthquake. We're getting the preliminary reading of five point six.
And if you listen to later with Mo Kelly, we
kid about Hey, if it's not at least a five,
we're not going to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well, that was a five plus five point six.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
And I said it even before we even knew what
the caliber or you know, the strength of the earthquake.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Five point six is considerable. Yes, five point six.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
And it was downgrade too, I think a five two
two five two Okay, but that was great. That was
great coverage last night with Mo Kelly and his whole crew.
They were on top of it, on top of it.
And this is one of the safest buildings in Los Angeles.
It's on rollers. If the Big one hits, I'd like
to be in this building, rolling around back and forth
(27:25):
for one hundred seconds. As doctor Jones said, crap will
be falling on you for a hundred seconds when the
Big one hits, and I'll just be rolling. If it
happens between four and seven, I'll be rolling around watching
the whole city collapse out my.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Window from Walmart.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Yeah, I dare you? How dare you? All Right?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
We're live. We all made it. Nobody died in that earthquake,
so we won. We're live on KFI A six.
