Drop, cover, and hold on. How many folks knew what to do here in Virginia in Augus 22t, 2011, the day of OUR big earthquake? I sure didn’t so I sat there yelling ” earthquake!!!!” Probably not as dumb of an idea as what some people did but not real productive.
What I do remember afterwards is all the people who insisted that you were supposed to run outside. Probably 75% of the people I talked to swore on a stack of bibles the “getting outside” thing was right off the earthquake civil defense how-to page. Well, not so.
