2 Earthquakes in Oklahoma in last 24 hours

You know, usually I would be right there with you, but that 5.6 the other night scared me to death. Now when they come I get a shot of adrenalin that really freaks me out and I can't even remotely enjoy them. I don't know, I just want to go back to earthquakes not being a normal occurrence.

You should try riding out an earthquake way up high in a skyscraper. FUN! :laugh2:

I think the reason you don't go outside during an earthquake has a lot to do with falling power lines more than the ground opening up.

The reason you don't go outside during an earthquake if you're indoors is because while trying to get out, you get hit with falling stuff. What you're supposed to do is stay wherever you are (indoors or outdoors) and take cover if you are indoors. If outdoors, just avoid structures and power lines.

This. The most dangerous part of going outside is moving through the building your in currently in.

Best thing to do is move to the closest doorway, under a desk / bed. Otherwise stay right where you are. (unless you are near something like a large bookshelf or china cabinet, then back way from it) I suppose if you are standing at the front door, by all means go outside. Move as far away from any large structure as you can.

Please note that all of the earthquakes add up to 11!
4+7=11
5+6=11
4+7=11
Is it coincidence that 11/11/11 is coming up in just a few days?!?!

A little more than a year and a month from 12/12/12!!

And if you add up 12/12/12, you get 36.
