Los Angeles, CA -

A strong earthquake struck the Los Angeles area during a live taping of the popular morning show "Good Day LA" on Tuesday, July 4th. The quake, which had a preliminary magnitude of 6.4, caused widespread damage and power outages across the region.

The earthquake struck at 11:58 a.m. PDT, just as the show was getting underway. The news anchors, Maria Quiban and Araksya Karapetyan, were in the middle of a segment when the shaking began.

The anchors and guests scrambled for cover as the studio shook violently. The ceiling tiles fell, and the lights went out. The show was cut off mid-broadcast, and the anchors and crew were evacuated from the building.

No injuries reported

Miraculously, there were no injuries reported at the "Good Day LA" studio, and the anchors and crew were able to evacuate safely.

The earthquake caused significant damage to the studio, including cracked walls, broken windows, and a collapsed ceiling. The building was evacuated, and it is not clear when the show will be able to resume taping.

Widespread damage across LA

The earthquake caused widespread damage across the Los Angeles area. Buildings were damaged, roads were cracked, and power lines were downed. Thousands of people were left without power, and some areas were without water.

The earthquake was the strongest to hit the Los Angeles area in years. It was felt as far away as San Diego and Las Vegas.

State of emergency declared

California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency for the Los Angeles area. The declaration will allow the state to provide assistance to the affected areas.

The earthquake is a reminder of the importance of earthquake preparedness. Residents of earthquake-prone areas should have a plan in place in case of an earthquake.
