These CBS presenters felt the California earthquake during a live news broadcast and decided to take cover under the desk. For more on the California earthquake:

The risk of more earthquakes striking Southern California is"approaching certainty" according to seismologists, following a 7.1-magnitude tremor which rattled LA and caused fire and building damage near its rural epicentre.

The most recent quake hit at 8.19pm local time on Friday, 11 miles from Ridgecrest in the Mojave Desert, which was the site of Thursday's 6.4-magnitude quake. Dr Lucy Jones, a seismologist with the California Institute of Technology, warned that Friday's tremor was part of the sequence that produced the earlier quake, saying Thursday's was a"foreshock".

Dr Jones warned there was about a 10% chance another 7.0-magnitude quake could hit in the next week, and that the chance of a 5.0-magnitude tremor was"approaching certainty".Offices in downtown Los Angeles shook for around 30 seconds on Friday, and the quake was also felt in the Hollywood Hills, Las Vegas and parts of Mexico.The earthquake is the strongest to hit the region in 20 years, with experts giving it an early rating of 6.9 to 7.1 on the Richter scale.

hanky panky under the table any excuse

When she tells you to get under the desk...with pleasure you get under the desk

POC PilOCks if you ask me! Why would non POC want to listen to their crappy music anyway.............🤔😀😂

There are some twisted comments hear... She was genuinely frightened...

You could hear the shaking and fear in her voice

Earthquake is one of the most terrible natural disaster,we just invoke to “god almighty”.

Probably not the first time she’s gone under the desk with him...😉

Frightening

Lucky guy! 😀

I’d bang get under the desk

THIS WAS A FEEBLE EXCUSE BY THIS LADY TO GET THAT POOR MAN UNDER THAT DESK!!!

If she had any Anti realDonaldTrump news she would have probably continued reading the news!!!

brexit and realDonaldTrump blamed

Another knee trembler

I saw this, the poor girl was terrified.

Good grief ...could you see Angela Rippon or Moira Stuart doing that . ?They wouldn’t even have raised an eyebrow .

She wants to give him BJ

🤣

Hope they are safe

Quick suzie suck on this it will provide you air.

Good plan

An offer you can’t refuse.

Looks like a Saturday Night Live sketch

Wasn’t an earthquake. Just me releasing my mixtape.

I like to think I'd be brave & macho but I'd be under that desk crying like a little girl within a second.🙁

Me thinks she has been under the desk before😋

She was a bit too keen to get under the desk with her colleague, although I suspect she might not be his type

Please relocate Sky News to an earthquake simulator and allow us a vote to trigger it if you get too twatty. InteractiveTV

So brave... Not

What happened under the desk? 😘😍🥰😜

The way she grabs his arm though. Scary.

😂😂😂😂 wtf!

It was past te to duck.

wow God forgive us all

If you’re going to go, go with a blow. shesakeeper

She knows how to protect herself during an earthquake while he was just seating there letting anything fall onto him from the ceiling. So she tried to take care of her colleague by holding onto him and letting him know that they need to get under the desk.

When she said its 821 I thought 'fuck that's a major quake but how could she know'. Later realizes its time.

LiamJordanSAFC5 Excellent outcome 😁

He gave her a 9.1 for sucking him off under the desk.

😴😴😴😴😴

I’ve heard it doesn’t take an earthquake for KayBurley to get under the desk. A rumour started by BethRigby & adamboultonSKY apparently. Just saying, skypapers.

Kay Burley would have just carried on with lights and the set falling down around her.

Poor excuse for some on-air nookie!

I be under the desk if we have a nuclear war

Like a desk will protect you from 10 tons of masonry.

Any excuse

Who is going to be the first one to overdub this and make it into a hilarious meme?

Earthquake guidelines will be amended to include, 'do not attempt to sign out' 😂😂😂🤔🤔

Bet they thought it was God Emperor Trump walking past at first.

Looked like his best day at work ever.

It’s his lucky day😀

TheWarOfNow Any excuse for a fumble...earthquake my eye lol 😜🤣

His face lit up when she suggested getting under the desk 🤪

Wow?

Why was she holding onto him? For some male protection? Dear feminists, you can't change biological instincts.

I wonder if she’s a native Californian? I am. I’m so jaded about earthquakes that I remained comfortably seated on my sofa while watching my plant do ‘the hula’. I’m a flight attendant, too, so shaking, quaking, and rocking are a permanent state in my work environment.

Wowwwww! 😬😬😬😬

I know it isn't funny. I KNOW it isn't, right.

The co-anchor has been waiting forever to get her under the desk.

Not sure about an earthquake, knee trembler no bother though

😂😂😂😂

I like her. I like the way she brought the idea real quick and went on to carry it out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

God's punishment for fake news

Lol 😂😂

Did she blow him under the table, she looked keen

🤣🤣🤣 is this America's love island?

Sky News will say 'it is brexits fault' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣
