Make it stop!’ The View star Joy Behar and cohosts left stunned as New York City earthquake alert interrupts live taping of ABC show

The View‘s Joy Behar and her cohosts were left stunned when an emergency earthquake alert sent out to New York City residents on Friday interrupted the live broadcast of the ABC morning show
As Joy, 81, opened the latest episode, she joked: ‘It looks like we’re alive! We’re alive and live from New York, where we just had a 4.8 earthquake,’ referring to the incident which occurred at 10:23 a.m. and was felt in NYC as well as in New Jersey, Virginia and Philadelphia.

Did you all feel it?’ she asked the live studio audience as some replied ‘yes’ and some replied ‘no,’ which led her cohost, Alyssa Farah Griffin, to joke: ‘It’s like half and half!’

As Sara Haines went to make a comment, the panel’s cell phones started beeping really loudly as the New York City alert came through warning people to ‘remain indoors’ and only ‘call 911 if injured.’
