I stopped after the first question. In the '94 Northridge quake if I had done what they say to do I wouldn't be here right now.
I made it to the door and was very lucky; my brother didn't get to the doorway and he ended up trapped in the room until we could break through. Had I been stuck in the same position that he ended up in, I would have had an upper bunk and dressed launched into me. He had a water bed and when his dresser came down on him he just "sunk" a little further and was fine although stuck.
I guess, like everything else, take the advise with a grain of salt because although it seems like a very good guide, ever situation ends up being different.
YIKES. I'm NOT moving to California any time soon. I got a 5/10 on the test!
It got me thinking about my gas line. I know I have one, cause I have gas heat and cooking fuel, but I have NO IDEA where a shut off valve is! I wouldn't have a clue about where to even go for that sucker. I think it said to leave it on, although I answered "not sure".
Earthquake supply kit... don't have one of them. I know we practice for tornadoes and other storms at school, but we've never practiced for an earthquake.
I don't think PA is earthquake prone, but I think we do get them.
Gosh. Embarrassing how little I know about this subject! Guess I know what I need to study next!
Hey,
I was just BBQing.....want me to "burn you a stake?"?
A little witch humor there!

Every quake is different.
IT all depends where you are at.
THere's only one thing that I have not been doing when a quake hit.
Once, I was on the pot when a good quake hit, that was amusing! The worst part is when you are asleep. That's a real wakeup call.

Check out the film clips of the TV shows being filmed when the quake hit.
