Lifelong St. Louis Rams Fan Just Wants To Witness One 10.0-Rated Los Angeles Earthquake Before They Die

There’s only one item on lifelong St. Louis Rams fan David Harbrook’s bucket list: to see a 10.0-rated earthquake lay waste to the city of Los Angeles.

Writing on his blog “St. Louis Blows”, David lamented the fact that his father passed away before getting to see “The Big One,” hit Hollywood. “Growing up, my pops would tell me about all the disasters he used to watch with his own father,” said Harbrook, 86, whose beloved Rams moved to Los Angeles six years ago. “It all sounded so magical.”

Harbrook, whose family gathers by his hospice bed every Sunday to cheer on every earthquake reported in the news as they follow along on their homemade Richter scale, says he isn’t ready to give up just yet. “Every year us St. Louis fans delude ourselves into thinking that some promising mudslide, forest fire, or drought will deliver us to glory, and we’re always left heartbroken,” said the octogenarian, recalling the painful years of relative safety experienced across Los Angeles. “But this year feels different. The San Andreas Fault line could go all the way.”

“I believe in my heart that it’s on its way, but if that isn’t in the cards, it would be enough to see a wildfire burn down SoFi Stadium before I pass on to the Great Offseason.”
