Terremoto en Mexico

Weak heart, Hernán?



Many people around here go crazy during an earthquake, but I keep a simple principle to stay calm: if there is nothing breaking or falling around, the usual drop-cover-and-hold-on protocol will be effective.

Btw... there is a collective mail praising some "triangle of life" theory, please don't pay attention to it and do what the international Red Cross and risk experts recommend.

In case you're interested, the U.S. Geological Survey has a note on it: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/...ID=6&faqID=141

I've felt three or four earthquake not very hard, but once I was just rising from the sofa and my legs began trembling, I thought I was really ill until I realized that what I felt was an earthquake.

That is now, then I was ok. But still I had never heard that sound before.

Always calm, as my mother taught us, my sister, brother and I. Whoever was closer to the main door, was to get up without running, if there were appliances plugged in to unplg them while on route to the door. Once there stay on the jamb until the movement ceased.

On a seventh floor you are always to see crazy people running naked and what not, depending at the tiome of the day it happaned.

I know, I read about it probably a couple of years ago, and it makes sense.


Now, stay put!
