Judge Judy Cameras Capture California Earthquake (VIDEO)

The Judge Judy cameras caught more than just courtroom drama today after a massive earthquake hit Southern California.
The Judge Judy set, at the Paramount lot in Hollywood, was full of audience members and case-participants when the earthquake struck. The cameras kept rolling the entire time.
Kudos to the plaintiff who clearly cares more about the US Justice System than her own life, as she stayed in place during the quake.

CNN must have played this piece of footage 25,000,000 times the day after the event.
Put it in the "Rev. Wright" bin!

JUDY! SAVE YOURSELF! JUDY? WHERE"S JUDY? You can tell a lot about the way someone behaves in a crisis and Judy was looking out for #1.

Was she supposed to sit there and let the heavy hot lighting fall on her head? give me a break

Yes, there were other shows being taped, trial shows in which the Judge remained calm and felt the responsibility to go down with ship so to speak. And take control of the courtroom by instructing the court in safety procedures and remain calm. But not Judge Judy. She's the flight not fight type... unless it's a totally controlled environment and she's in control.

It was a 5.4 for crying out loud! Jesus H. Keerist, You'd think it was the 1960 Chile quake that lowered part of tis coastline eight feet (magnitude 9.5) or something by this headline. Have a sense of proportion!

I know, all the cute out-of-staters. They think it's actually a big deal.

California baby, the earth moves here.

I saw another version on the TV news last night--Judge Judy was the first person out the back door! Now, that's a smart woman! LOL

What a lousy excerpt.
Had they included at the beginning about 10 seconds of what it was like BEFORE the quake hit, we could have some contrast to compare what it was like. But this piece started with the earthquake happening.
Bad editing.

Brave woman.

An earthquake is one of the few things she can't bully or humiliate into submission, so she scrams, leaving her "courtroom" in chaos.
