What’s cheaper, an $18 tv strap or an $800 broken TV?

Host Susan Jekarl talks to Vencie Glenn about his experience in the last big San Diego earthquake.

He tells her that his large flat screen television wasn’t bolted down, “it was just leaning.” The expensive television fell over and the screen broke. But Vencie was too attached to the TV to get rid of it, so it sits, broken in the corner of his living room.

Meanwhile, he’s gotten a new television, but he hasn’t secured that one either. Susan shows him step by step how to secure a flat screen TV to a table so that it won’t go flying in an earthquake.

Learn how you can secure your television for an earthquake, and save yourself hundreds of dollars!
