A Fox News anchor is being praised for professionally handling an unexpected disturbance to her broadcast over the weekend.
While Fox News is sometimes the site for controversial news and viewpoints, what is seen as favoritism toward President Donald Trump, as well as the debut of Lara Trump’s new show, this occurrence was one that wasn’t tied to politics.
The moment occurred as correspondent Christina Coleman gave a report about missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki.
Her broadcast happened to be at the same time as four earthquakes hitting neighborhoods in Southern California on Wednesday.
As a result, she had to briefly pause her report as she felt the shakes from it.

“A spokesperson for the University of Pittsburgh told local media that university officials are in contact with her family…” Coleman said before briefly pausing and admitting she had experienced a minor earthquake while reading the script, and then continuing on with the report.
She was later praised by Fox Report Weekend anchor on Scott, who commended her for staying calm and pointing out that this isn’t the first time her professional ability to stay calm has been noted.
“Christina, you once had a bear wander through your live shot, and now you have got an earthquake in your live shot. You are a true professional. Good for you,” he said.
Coleman later described the situation as well.

“It was a good–i would say maybe 3 to 5 seconds of just, like, quick rattling there,” she said.
“And, you know, when I’m reading these scripts, you know, that I write, I have them in this teleprompter in front of me, and I’m hyper focused so when it just starts moving like that, you’re like, wait, what’s happening? And how long is this moving going to go on? And do I need to get up and go somewhere else? Well, fortunately, it stopped quickly.”
The quakes, which were mainly felt in Westlake Village and Malibu saw jolts ranging from magnitude 2.4 to 4.1.
