I’m sure by now you have all heard about the earthquake that shook the east coast from Virginia all the way up to Canada on Tuesday. The quake registered a 5.8 on the Richter scale, which is no joke. Somehow I’m the only person on the east coast who failed to feel any effect from it, but that’s beside the point. It certainly put a scare into Ravens second-round pick Torrey Smith, who was filming a commercial for the University of Maryland (his alma mater) when the ground began to shake. Check out the Torrey Smith earthquake video, courtesy of Deadspin:
Earthquakes are extremely frightening for everyone but even more so for us east coasters who are unaccustomed to them. Everyone reacts differently when they experience something unfamiliar, but where was Smith going? I understand hiding under a chair or something if you’re in a building, but he Torrey was just OUT. I guess until I’ve been caught in the middle of an earthquake while filming a commercial I shouldn’t judge.
