Earthquake

We were not at home when the earthquake happened in California last week on Tuesday (Oct. 30) evening. We were in another earthquake-prone country in Taiwan when the California earthquake happened. In 1989, a major earthquake also hit the Bay Area. That 6.9 Loma Prieta killed 62 in California and injured 3,756 people. It also caused damage to fabs and offices in the region. Hubs and myself were discussing about earthquake and he mentioned that the likelihood of surviving an earthquake in California is higher than in Taiwan. I do not disagree.

What will you do when an earthquake strikes? Hide under a table? Run for your life? Anyway, I have already practiced hiding under the table for a few times. Just make sure it's not a glass-top table.
