“But it was a scary situation. Obviously, it sounds like everything is OK here in Las Vegas, but I certainly send thoughts and prayers to all of those involved.”
The earthquake registered a 7.1 on the Richter scale and reportedly was 11 times stronger than the one that rocked Ridgecrest on Thursday. It also forced MCM Resort NBA Summer League officials to postpone games that were being played at the time.
