Our LA News Anchors Response To An Earthquake

We felt a 4.7 magnitude earthquake this morning. Some news anchors seem too have been scared the most...

do not get Under stuff. You are safer being next to or between things. Small things that may fall on you are not as bad and the roof! The roof will likely crush the desk or bed you are under. But being next to or between will give you more room.

The big one maybe offically coming this year. Then again they say that every year...

I saw this when The Weather Channel posted it (before the memes and vines popped up two mins later) and even though I was supposed to be taking it seriously, he had me laughing my ass off.

Are you from California or Japan?
You are absolutely supposed to get under a table.
You can always tell the people who did not grow up in California during an earthquake because they don't have the instant automatic response to get under.
I remember in 11th grade, our teacher who had lived in Cal. for 20 years, but did not grow up here, ran out of the room - the absolute wrong thing to do - and he was shocked not only by the quake but how we students all suddenly "vanished" (we were all under our desks in under a second!). We told him he shouldn't have run out, and why, and he said, yeah, they go over it at a staff meeting now and then, but the natural instinct is to run away - natural to him because he didn't grow up here. But, run away from what? You can't run away from a quake.
My 1st remembered quake was in kindergarten, we were at recess on the playground and the teachers were telling us to get down. I lay down on my belly in the field, and at that ground level, I could see a wave ripple through the earth. Everybody was laying on the ground and then we all slowly got up, looked kind of like a zombie resurrection. lol
Every building is quake proof, so the roof will not crush you. More likely are light fixtures and plaster coming down, if anything, or books, pictures coming off the walls. Also, you want to be low so you don't trip or get knocked off your feet - greater risk of injury from falling down.
Worst is being in a car when it happens.
Otherwise, quakes in Cal. are pretty safe. I'd rather have weekly ones under 5 points that loosen the tension between the plates gradually, rather than "the Big One" of about 9.0.

Lol you Californians with your moving pictures, flying machines, and perfume for your armpits...

I got knocked off the bed once by a small earthquake when I was living in Hollywood. I have yet to see this "Big One" they've all been expecting for the past 100,000 years, give or take.

Also a good idea when you are in a television studio and have a bunch of super hot, 40-lb lights over your head. They're clamped and have safety cables, but still.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

The Earthquake Preparedness people came to their rescue and said they did the right thing. (Still funny the expression on the guy's face.) If you're near a sturdy desk get under it. Problem is, generally in business offices getting up partition desk isn't a good idea because they're not sturdy, so then you have not only the ceiling but everything on your desk piled on you. Learned that during the Whittier(sp?) quake aftershocks, we were told not to do that, where I worked under the doctors' parking lot. Woohoo woot! to be crushed by a mercedes. yay! But you do what you need to do to protect your head though.

I miss the rolling earthquakes, they feel funny, having the floor actually ripple under your feet, I haven't felt one of those in decades. Never been in a real quake, hope to never be, but I don't think it's my call. All this stuff scary when it happens for real.
