We couldnt get so lucky! And yes I'm a asshole and i dont care.
I hope an earthquake destroys that liberal cesspool.
It will finally happen 2022. Get out of California now by December 2021!⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Dude I saw the thumbnail and I thought it happened then I saw the title ….it gave me a heart attack ??
I dont live in LA i live in Coachella but idc thats nature so if it kills you, you can blame it on nature
California. Those. Rich. People. How. Much. Do. They. To. Help. Poor. People. 1. In. 5 Homeless.

Duck and get under furniture. But how safe is that when you’re in a tall collapsing building?? Or even risking getting crushed? I mean I live in LA but I’m from the east coast soooo maybe y’all trust these buildings more than I do lol
California gets earthquake everyone is scared
Japan: First time?
If the earthquakes were illegal they would have protective status under California's Sanctuary City law.
Will I still be able to get free needles?
Mattress over the bath ??♂️
.#zZz#.⚡⬆⬇?
Calis probs gonna blame trump for this one too
All you have to do is following the god damn train CJ
Who's living in ridgecrest watching this lol
It would be an improvement on the cities wrecked by decades of unfettered Democratic mismanagement
i will hang out the flag!!!
Not a matter of IF but WHEN !
Stay under a table but the building collapses??¿¿ what is that logic
I can’t wait til calif plunged into the ocean I can watch on CNN. Please happen soon
Let’s hope that every liberal stupid democrat low life piece of caca falls into the sea and never came back USA don’t need them scam bags nothing but scam ?
But it would sure get rid of alot of illegals and libtards tho.
I remember the 89 quake in San Francisco. Freeways fell apart everywhere
It’s all fun and games until people start eating eachother.
Sears kmart JCP , papa murphy's are going to hurt California because they won't change they are losing money in the public market
I'm glad I don't live in California
You can't blame it all on San Andreas
Chuck Norris will not allow that to happen.
ive already had enough of southern’s heat
We would not be so lucky.
…Finally I could afford a house.
What if it doesn't?
californians are the worst
I hope it does!
same in the Philippines. we also have something called the big one which is on the west valley fault
skl
i hope i die
Sorry earthquakes are illegal. It’s too loud..
Just pass a law to make California an earthquake free zone. Post lots of signs. It will be just as effective as gun free zones ???
