Door frames are a good place to hide under generally. Don't forget to check gas lines and to see if pilot lights went out if you have gas heaters and such.

For us east coast transplants, what exactly is the protocol for this? Tuck yourself in a load-bearing door frame? |
not to freak you out, but usually there are some aftershocks that follow. They're usually not as strong as the initial jolt. I would not worry about it so much. Again, living in this sort of area kind of does that to you. You don't live in fear of the next one that comes.
When I was in grade school they used to always have earthquake drills. The protocol was to stand in a doorway like you mentioned and stay away from the windows if things start shaking. If you're outside, stand out in open areas away from potential falling objects.
Again, try not to think about it so much if possible. If there's another one there isn't much you can do by worrying about it now.

I was eating dinner and watching the season opener for the NBA. First I thought it was the Cal Train since I live near a big Bart Station; but then it kept shaking and getting stronger. The walls started to rumble; I heard my dishes clanging; so I thought, hmmm I guess this is actually an earthquake.
My initial thoughts, where are my shoes, keys, wallet so that I can rush out of my place if it gets too bad.
My second thought, nah... this isn't as strong as the Northridge earthquake.

Whee! Everyone frm San Francisco! I really want to go there, lurve it though I've never been there! I'll be there in mid July this year. But, the group (7 inc me) I'm going with... Most prefer New York City to San Francisco and plan to just stay in San Fran for 3 days! I was so sad about that, but when they asked me what else can we do other than Golden Gate Bridge and Park, Chinatown, I really don't know much to say. I just want to breathe the air and watch the people, the life there! It's so much more of culture there right? Mostly Asian culture though ahah.
I know what I'm asking has nothing to do with the subject of the thread but I figured it's a great place to find out frm locals there since there are so many frm thE BAY HERE! Hope I revive this thread!...
Also, it'd be best if anyone can tell me... If I were to go to LA frm SF, is it best to travel by bus/train/plane? I'm cost conscious! Saving costs would be the best. I personally prefer trains but if it takes too long and it's too expensive, I'll choose an alternative. m_m

| Travel by plane, you can get a really cheap ticket if you book in advance. Its about a one hr ride. If you do train or bus it would take 7-8 hrs, and its not a huge saving.

hey kyla, i've been to NY and SF, and i think SF is much better. i don't think NY sucks. in fact, i think it's a great place, but i had an excellent time in SF.
in any case, i'm sure taking the bus is cheapest from LA to SF, but it would take you the longest. if you shop early and wisely, you could probably find some good airfares with southwest, spirit air, or others.
aren't you traveling with the group?_________________ Use THUMBS UP/DOWN buttons to KEEP or DELETE posts.

Well, you live in a region that is basically a desert 9 months out of the year and you learn to appreciate things.... 
(although, yes, we have noticed that I tend to like inclement weather more than the opposite  )
