Earthquakes

[DTisme]

I assume everyone knows to get under a doorway, inside a bathtub enclosure, or the like, bc there is more support there than in the middle of a room. Also, I heard that if you're in bed, simply rolling off the side of the bed and lying on the floor next to the bed can be helpful. The space next to beds is often spared bc when things fall and hit the bed, they create a hollow there. Other places to go are under tables. Stay away from windows, bricks, and other building "add-ons." One of the most common injuries in earthquakes is broken glass - so Hawaii particularly bad bc we are all most likely barefoot during quake. (Even rolling to the floor from bed can be dangerous if the area is near a window.)

I lived in Bay Area during Loma Prieta. It was pretty awful, esp the aftershocks.
