I went to Yucca Valley a number of years ago on a shoot for a TV commercial (dry lake bed…car spot). All went well and I came home. The next week, a significant earthquake had its epicenter in Yucca Valley, almost right under where we were shooting.

Like the photo shoot story, we had a 2 week window and chose the first. Had we chosen the second, we’d have been right there when it the quake hit.

Actually, it might’ve been fun. ;-) What can fall on you in a dry lake bed?
