Thread: Do you know what to do in the event of an earthquake?

    I guess we're ready to Rumble --- got a 90%.

    But - I'd STILL turn the gas off!
    They're worried I might get tired of *waiting* for the gas company to come
    around and "properly" turn the gas back on and re-light the appliances.

    An improper turn-ON can result in a BIG *BOOM* when non-gas company folks
    attempt to do it ... I've turned a lotta gas valves OFF - and NEVER turned one back on
    (except for the BBQ Grill). If I turn it OFF, I'll *wait* for the Gas Guys.

    Heh, i live in a not very earthquake prone area, so i got most wrong. I believe the quiz was wrong about something: you cant smell gas if the pipe underground busted. In that situation, you should turn your gas off.

    LOL, you know what I said to that question?

    CRY

    Because that's what I did with the "little" one I felt a couple years ago. Bruce was like - what's your problem? That was nothing. As I was freaking out!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I got all but 1 right. I missed the turn off gas line one. I still would turn it off

    Cindy, I would cry too, while running around like a maniac trying to catch my kitties

    I got 5/10, but I live on Long Island so the chances of getting an earthquake are pretty slim. Good thing, too, because obviously I would be clueless! I will, however, pass this on to my friend who just moved out to California!

    You're right, we have. I remember one back in the early 80's right here in little ol' Canal Fulton. I was on the phone at work and I suddenly thought someone was on my roof. I put the phone down, went outside and looked up at the roof and then noticed that other business owners were outside, too, all looking up at their roofs. All the jewelry fell off the shelves in the jewelry case, too. And then it was over.

    I only got 4 right on the test. Better go back and review, huh?
    Blessings,
    Mary
