Is grabbing your laptop and standing in a door way advisable or pathetic?

Thanks, Spencer.

Everyone in my office just kinda said “oh shit” and sat there, not knowing what to do! Funny how you forget everything you’ve learned when it actually happens.

Nice reminder, does anyone have eecue’s earthquake kit post handy?

Funny thing is the last few days the whole EQ thing has been bugging me (I was living Valley Village for Northridge and that was a whopper). Over the last week I’ve checked all my flashlights, changed out my water supplies etc.,.

Where I have been lax is not keeping a small in in the trunk of the car. My wife has hers, but then she commutes and I make sure hers is current. Good thing as right now she’s sitting in her parking lot at work waiting for the all clear to go back in. (Her office in Pomona was evacuated a little after noon as the 2nd floor had some down ceiling tiles and a sagging portion of the ceiling).

I sure do. It’s the third link in my post.

I *Think* the Pasadena FD has free ones….

We ordered one from here last year:

You’ll need to add extra food/water and a few things they don’t include, but it’s an easy way to get a head start.
