  1. OHEMGEE! I Know!!


  2. gah your not the only one asking this question.. in the last 5 minutes i have seen like 5 qu. about it.. wow

  3. I felt it!

    Rolling motion about 30sec

    Im near Burbank

  4. wow! i'd like to hear more about this earthquake... i've answered two other questions about it too...

  5. You're supposed to hide under a table but i dont think anyone really does it.

    When the earthquake hit me it was only for a hot second and my bed was shaking so I didn't really do anything.

  6. U need a survival kit for at least 72 hours which specially prepared for Earthquake and a safety helmet.

    EARTHQUAKE! wear your hardhat and grap your survival kit and Move out of shake shake zone.

    If time out, look for 2 points of the building and hide there with anything can protect u.

    The 2 points refer to the right angle or the corner building structure component of Column and Beam. these are the safest spot because when collasped, it usually created a triangular volume so it is highest rate of survival than hiding in the middle of the house cos these are the weakest link of the building and they falls, they created a V collapse and finally crushed on u.

  7. I live near San Jose, I usually run outside.  I know that's not the safest thing to do, but I guess it's my instinct.

  8. Imagine there was a Tsunami cuz of it

  9. Go outside but don't run stay in one place where you consider it's secure and safe for you.

  10. I'm glad to hear that you're okay... I heard it was a 5.8

  11. out of the house or anywhere something can fall on you

  12. flip the sofa over and use it as a fortress

    i was going to do that but it wasn't that big of a quake
