just stay away from potential falling objects... power lines, poles, structures, glass blowing out, etc. You'll know, trust me. If it's enough to drop the house next door, being outdoors you'll be equally screwed when the pavement cracks open and swallows you up... lol

 

That's pretty much exactly why you shouldn't. Most structures aren't going to collapse in your average earthquake, but it's much more likely that power lines and roof tiles and such are going to fall and that's a bigger risk if you're outdoors

 

I always hold a glass panel over my head next to a power pole when a earthquake happens.

 

Get in the taco. Taco will save all



But seriously, be safe guys. I’m glad my gf ain’t out there otherwise I’d be buying her a ticket home right now

 

funny you mention that. I was at lowes today and happened to be in the aisle where they had this on display - -

 

Buy shed>put out side away from everything>store emergency supplies there. Thats what we have at my house. Its also the garden shed too

 

@Empty_Lord has one like that lol

 

Yes and with the fucking insane storms lately it’s been a. God send

 

Gdamn that price tag tho

 

<live in mountains hundreds of miles away from major fault lines

 

It was 7500 installed for us.

 

There ain’t shit for natural disasters out here. I’ve only ever seen 2 tornados. And neither touched down. Flooding doesn’t happen in my neck of the woods because high ground... I like my boring area, it’s safe!

 

Just gotta worry about Rock slides, mud slides, avalanches

 

Not in the mountains i hangout in

 

I still remember that one. I had pulled a graveyard shift the day before - didn't get home until close to noon I think. Was sleeping when it hit. Shook my ass right out of bed. Crazy. A lot has changed since then but definitely a damn horrific event.

still, when the zombies start walking the earth and the grid fails you'll still have lights and power to the electrified perimeter fence

 

Visiting Missouri a lot as a kid I remember a few tornados. Never anything serious but a few times we had to go down into my grandparents basement for a few hours. The tornado sirens in the neighborhood were the most frightening part.

screw that. I spent a week (June iirc) in Austin, TX on business. I'll never forget those tornado warning/shelter signs and the dark skies that looked like hell was about to spawn and the humidity. Scary AF.

 

Agreed, but I still think earthquakes are the worst because you just can't predict them, not like you can tornadoes, hurricanes, even fires to some extent. Just happens seemingly out of nowhere
