More advice:

NEVER stand in a door frame. That's crazy. Always look for triangles and corners, if you can't get to safety. Don't run outside until the shaking stops (in my case, it took six months LOL)


Stay away from windows - they explode.

As soon as possible, turn off the gas to your home (if you have gas service)

The electric will go off....and so will the water.

Make an emergency plan for your entire family regarding how to contact each other... where to meet up, etc.

Learn how to PRAY !!
