I chilled and only walked out because everyone else did.
But then again, I've been known to sleep through earthquakes.

[yoni_nismo]

i was confused 4 a bit then i was like wtf earthquake... it wasnt that bad in LAX area

[StaticX27]

I'm like.. 5 miles from the Epicenter, and that's the weird part. I was sitting in my chair sorting my hentai by completed series, incomplete and movies. The shaking made me look up for a second, and then I went back to sorting....

[apex]

[karl wasabi]

5.8


Dude, that's like the worse thing that you can do. You are supposed to crouch NEXT to something solid. Not under it...

It's called like the triangle of life. No shit. Read up on earthquake safety. LMAO.

[drift freaq]

felt it good here in Los Feliz(next to Hollywood). Of course I was on the second floor.

Oh and the other thing your suspposed to do is stand in doorways because its a framed area.

[VROOOM]

i wonder how many unproperly racked cars fell off shop lifts around chino area??

I watched a mechanic at work run from underneath a Ranger on a lift while it was happening. truck didnt fall though

[hustlervibes]

Wasn't that bad here over in Pasadena.

[!Zar!]

Aww. We didn't get to feel it in norcal.

[DALAZ_68]

smoke break!
YES...


Update on jobsite

[foreverdark]

dude i was watching porn getting ready to you know.... and BAM!

[CrimsonRockett]

Shit was awesome!

At first, I thought a fat girl was walking behind me.

Then, I realized what was going on.

So, I spun in my chair and said "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

:rofl:

Im in Downtown LA. Massive office building.

[DUFFM4N]

all my kidrobot toys fell off my desk...OH THE CARNAGE!!!! :rant:

[!Zar!]

Death of the dunny's!

[racepar1]

That was bullshit! I was under a car on a lift looking at the fuel pump and the gas tank baffles when it started shaking. I looked up like "oh SHIT!" and ran the hell out from under that thing.

[CrashQueen]

Ummmmmm.........so i looked up "earthquake safety" and i got this:





What to do during an earthquake

1. If you are indoors, duck or drop down to the floor. Take cover under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture. Hold on to it and be prepared to move with it. Hold the position until the ground stops shaking and it is safe to move. Stay clear of windows, fireplaces, woodstoves, and heavy furniture or appliances that may fall over. Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts. If you are in a crowded area, take cover where you are. Stay calm and encourage others to do likewise.
Dude, that's like the worse thing that you can do. You are supposed to crouch NEXT to something solid. Not under it...

[Brian]

That was hot.

[ellisonrox]

yeah i always thought it was hide under a desk and hold on to the legs

[CrashQueen]

yup that is correcto. :keke:



yeah i always thought it was hide under a desk and hold on to the legs

[duffman1278]

I work like 5 miles from the Epic center! My building started shifting left and right! It was insane. It hit hardest in Chino Hills, where I work, 5.8.

[1ZlowZ]

Me my bro and his girlfriend were at a resturant watching a move then in the movie an earthquake happens in the move, then a real one happens. Crazy coincidence didn't feel it move that bad though.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

they said it was a 5.4 now

[!Zar!]

Dude, that's like the worse thing that you can do. You are supposed to crouch NEXT to something solid. Not under it...

It's called like the triangle of life. No shit. Read up on earthquake safety. LMAO.

And this ladies and gentelmen, is how the dumb are weeded out.

[LB.Motoring]

yawn,

I kept sitting at my desk at work, If I got lucky something would fall on me :keke:

To bad theres nothing above me but a 30foot high roof

[autobahNESSA]

I'm at the Long Beach Airport and I didn't feel it because I was walking..nothing phases me..super chaos here at gates 1-4 though lol

One plane was fueling when the quake hit and knocked the pump out and splooged all over the place.

I heard LAX is closed down because one of the control towers got fucked up.

[!Zar!]

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c391/TurboDrifterZar/lulz.jpg
Proof.

Under tables you won't die.

This was a scientific study I just conducted.

Stright vectors and everything.

[Mathetai]

This lady I work with was super scared and tried running out the building and tripped on the way out! LMAO! :keke:

[dert420sx]

santa ana got rocked pretty good. im in the 4th fl of the oc register bldg and this bish swayed for a while after. file cabinets fell over and all these older women were screaming in a panic like the rapture was coming. lol

man, i just thought it was a cool jolt to wake me up before lunch and a great excuse to get to the 4th fl patio for a pre-lunchtime smoke break.
lol

[airsoft]

[CusCo_S14]

i ran out of the store pushing women,children and the old people down so i could get to safety.....Eerrrr.... i mean.... I helped everyone to the floor so that i could make sure it was safe for everyone outside from falling debris

[spoolandslide]

i just woke up

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

I'm in Chino Hills right now and I thought I was trippin. I thought it was me and I was feeling dizzy. A girl pointed out that she felt it too and I just stood in a doorway and finished my pizza. Big fucking woop.

[DALAZ_68]

And this ladies and gentelmen, is how the dumb are weeded out.
and u should search a bit better

Karl was right BTW i saw the special...it was brought in my rescue workers

snopes.com: Triangle of Life (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/triangle.asp)

put it this way...if ur in ur car under a bridge...u stay inthe car, bridge falls ur a pancake...same scenerio but u know to exit the car and lay betweend 2 cars...theres a giant gap opening that is made by the crushed cars...

this method could have saved a few lives back in 94 during the northridge earthquake...


not just that but its already saved a few construction workers across the US

[grnappletree14]

i live in chino hills, that earth quake lasted for like 30 seconds, was shaking crazy over, shit fell off walls, some of my dishes came out the cupboards and broke. but other that shit chill now.

[PhAtXSuMo]

sometimes you gotta move past searching
did you bother to read the whole article, or at least the end part of it?
the credibility of the whole technique/author is called into question

snopes even recommends reading the red cross article instead
Drop under a sturdy desk or table, hold on, and protect your eyes by pressing your face against your arm.

there's also a FEMA article, but i'm staying away from that one.

Chillin' reading Rolling Stones.
*shake* *shake*

*shake* *shake*
WTF !
*stops*

Ohhhhhhhhhhh HOW exciting.

*FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTT*

True story.

[S13SilviaGirl]

All the phones are down here, but I think it's from everyone trying to get through at one time.

even our cells out here weren't working

there's also a FEMA article, but i'm staying away from that one.no i didnt read this article but i read other and watch a video aswell...but weve also had some info given to us in safety training at work...theres a diff between a wooden roof and a concrete slab falling over ur head...i highly doubt u wanna be under a desk when shit like that falls...

[Flipzide]

I was watching a scene in Starship Troopers 3 and the earthquake made the scene more epic than it really was, lol.

[ellisonrox]

no i didnt read this article but i read other and watch a video aswell...but weve also had some info given to us in safety training at work...theres a diff between a wooden roof and a concrete slab falling over ur head...i highly doubt u wanna be under a desk when shit like that falls...

well, the way i see it.. if small debris falls, what's going to protect you? the desk or open air? if something big enough to smash the desk falls and you're on the side of the desk, then i'd believe that most likely one side of your triangle won't support you and you'll end up getting smashed as well

i think if you're in a situation where the ceiling collapses, you're pretty much fucked either way

but i'd still rather be under a desk. just my two cents.

[ESmorz]

Id just jump out my window.

It's only one story.

yeeeeeah fuck getting crushed lol

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Hahaha I slept trough it:angel:... I could sleep through anything

[flip3d]

Under the desk is a universal solution for anything dangerous.

Earthquake.
Nuclear Bomb.
Armed Robbery.
Angry Latin Girlfriend.

[Avante]

i felt it all the way down in san diego.

stuff was just swaying though, not a jolt like some of you.

no one was hurt, i hope?

[mehsilvia]

What i enjoyed was watching closely to see the reactions in the office.

Our office is full of contractors from alot of countries.

Looking across the sea of cubicles, you start with the gopher affect.


The native cali folks - "oh" and they sit back down and keep a watchfull eye for debris
The contractors - "oh, OH, OH MY GOD" as they all storm for the nearest emergency exit. Alarms blaring, traffic jam in the door way, people pouring out of the building.

Luckily this was NOT anywhere violent as the Northridge earthquake, or we would have had alot of injuries from those folks stampeeding each other and losing their balance and shit.

Goes to show, that we are NEVER prepared.

Any one of us could know exactly what to do, its the guy next to ya that most likely will get you hurt. You know, the SOLID MASS standing next to you. Fucker might run for the door, or worse, DUCK - all the while you are standing there in the triangle of life:bite: tragic.

[StaticX27]

Triangle of life doesnt work unless you're dealing with significantly higher magnitudes of force. At low force, if you're sitting next to a book shelf and something from up top falls, guess where it's going? Yep, it's going to drop right on your head. Now, same model, if it was thrown from the top of the shelf, then yes, the arc could potentially nail you if you're under a nearby table. That's the whole theory behind the Triangle of life, is that it protects you from anything that falls at a 45degree angle or higher. If you're just a little bit smaller, you're done.

Desk protects you at anything that's doing anything but being thrown at you from the side (of course depending on the size of the desk.

Cliff notes: Triangle of life is dumb in anything under a 7.0 mag quake. Pay attention in Elementary school and Jr High.. AND high school. They said get your happy ass under the desk. Do what you're told and stop thinking :P

[DRavenS13]

SO, I was sleeping, kids were playing around me.

*Shake*
WTF?
*Shake shake*
You gotta be effing kidding me....
*Roll Shake*
Get to the doorway now!

Mind you, I hate earthquakes. They just feel terrible to me. My kids never experienced one before. My daughter was asking if something crashed to the ground, and my son was saying it was the Hulk. (They've seen too many comic flicks lately.)

My daughter, not accepting the "sometimes the world shakes" explanation, sat with me and watched the CalTech lady explain what happened. It's sad that a 6-year-old had a better grasp of the technical explanation than some of those reporters did.

[sr20alex]

I was at school at that time, i thought it was just my mind playing around with me but then it started to shake for a bit then i look around everyones under they're desk already i was like was like shet. Then they made us walk out onto the field what a burn i was wearing my brand new vans too. 5.8 i think thats high havnt felt a earthquake before.. the world is gonna end!
