HAPPENED SUNDAY MORNING AUGUST
23RD.
NEW AT 10 -- SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
CATCHES REACTIONS FROM WORKERS
AT A
CONVENIENCE STORE.. THE MOMENT A
3.8 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE HIT
TODAY NEAR THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA
STATE LINE.
BRIANNA HOLLIS IS LIVE IN JAY
TONIGHT -- ONE
OF THE TOWNS CLOSE TO THE
EPICENTER.
BRI - PEOPLE JUST CAN'T STOP
TALKING
ABOUT IT?
YEAH I WALKED INTO THIS
CONVENIENCE
STORE, ASKED ONE OF THE
EMPLOYEES IF HE
FELT IT.. AND EVERYONE WITHIN
EARSHOT OF ME
STARTED CHIMING IN ABOUT WHERE
EXACTLY
THEY WERE WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE
HIT.
THANKFULLY -- NO SERIOUS
DAMAGE.. NO
INJURIES.
BUT THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO WE
GOT FROM
INSIDE THE SHOP.. IT FREAKED
PEOPLE OUT
FOR A MINUTE.
What was that? What was that?
What the
heck was that? It was an
earthquake.
SOT: "Standing and just chatting
with my
coworkers and all of a sudden
there was a quick vibration and
then I looked around.. and it
happened again within a few
seconds. NAT: Oh my gosh
SOT: "My worker, she thought we
got hit by
a semitruck or something
WITH THE EARTHQUAKE NOT
BRINGING CATASTROPHE ALONG WITH
IT.. WAS QUICK TO
JEST.
"It's probably that big guy
walking around.."
HERE'S SOME VIDEO OF THE
QUAKE -- YOU CAN SEE THE SIGN
ABOVE THE CASH REGISTER SHAKING
AT OPIE'S CAFE AND COFFEE SHOP.
"All of a sudden we feel
something
shaking and first we think it's
my girls
upstairs because they're
bringing in a
TAKE SUPER - LAURIE ELDER/OPIE'S
OWNER
delivery, and the next thing I
know, I can feel
it under my feet."
STU JACKSON WAS THERE TOO.
TAKE SUPER - STU JACKSON/FELT
QUAKE
You don't feel typically the
ground move that
strongly here, and I was
concerned, enough to get out of
the building I was in.
GEOLOGISTS WILL CONTINUE
MONITORING THE SPOT FOR
AFTERSHOCKS.. AS WELL FUTURE
QUAKES.
