Great California Shakeout 10/21/10

[Cadaverous Pallor]

What irks me is that I really don't know where I should hide during the earthquake itself. Instructions like this aren't helpful. The only piece of furniture I can get under in our place is the dining room table, but that is right next to our sliding glass windows. Should I hide there anyway? What about when I'm upstairs and nowhere near a table? Perhaps jump onto the bed? Since this says doorways aren't helpful at least I don't have to worry about that anymore. Doorways often have doors in them, which can flap around and whack you. Are hallways more structurally sound? Also, if Theo is down for a nap and if I'm in our bedroom, should I run down the hall past the stairway, or is it too possible to fall down the stairs?

Where's my friendly neighborhood door-to-door earthquake advice person?
