“We’re making sure nothing is going to come down in the studio here,” Donchey said.

“This is a very strong earthquake,” she added, grabbing her co-host’s arm. “8:21 on the air here and we’re experiencing very strong shaking. I think we need to get under the desk.” (RELATED: 5 Earthquake Time Bombs That Could Devastate America)
