I'm trying to decide if that is sound logic or if it is the architectural equivalent of "grandpa fell off a roof in 1943 without so much as a scratch so I'm not worried about him up there installing Christmas lights."

"Survived a few quakes" was one of the things I wanted when we were considering buying a home. Maybe it's faulty logic, but I figure it's better than an untested house.

Or, with a construction helmet, if you have one handy.

I have heard that in a bed is pretty safe, but do not EVER go under a bed or any other furnature (the Duck & Cover under a school desk from the 50's was a bad idea). The best place is next to them. In the rubble of a damaged building, the survivors are next to things that held up chunks of buildings causing safe spaces.

The information on the website is saying duck and cover (and hold) is still the safest method.

The "Triangle of Life" theory was invented by a guy trying to sell his rescue "expertise" and his books. No credible agency or structural engineer recomends it. "Duck and cover" is still the best advice.

I'm still trying to find a credible agency to endorse the "Shout '**** Happens' and Enjoy the Ride" approach.

I'ld endorse that!

But I'm not an agency and I am certainly not credible.

Would it be wrong of me to hope for a major earthquake at like 9:00am on 10/21?
