the second an Earthquake hits you should run as fast as you can to a doorway (for example the Kitchen, Living room or a Bedroom and wait there until the Earthquake passes so that nothing heavy falls on you if a big Earthquake... that's what I did when we had an Earthquake in 2000, again in 2008 I think and again in 2010 and as far as the Earthquake in 2000 that we had goes I was sleeping that morning on January 1st 2000 when I heard a noise from very far so I rushed out of bed and somehow knew an Earthquake was coming and as soon as I rushed in my Bedroom doorway the whole house started shaking like crazy lol!!!.
