A video of a Judge Judy taping during the Southern California earthquake yesterday is circling the web.
The normally stern reality show judge hasn't shown any signs she could be shaken by anything, but even she proved no match for the 5.4 earthquake. Judge Judy dove under desk as the cameras continued to roll on July 30 while others fled the room and those on trial stood paralyzed in confusion.
While the aftermath is always well documented, catching an abrupt natural disaster like an earthquake on camera isn't all too common. That being said, just yesterday we covered a story on accidental earthquake coverage by a Chinese wedding photographer. His images can be seen by following the link below.
