Reply to comment by Bunny_Boy_Auditor in 4.2 magnitude earthquake strikes off Malibu coast, USGS says by kockin26
When the Loma Prieta earthquake happened in the bay area in 1989, they initially said it was a 7.1, but years later it was downgraded to a 6.9. So I've technically never been in one over 7, but I imagine I'd do the same thing I was doing during that 6.9--squatting in the stupid door jamb like a moron.

I lived in Travis airforce base when that happened and one of our neighbors unfortunately died during that. I was only 2 at the time, but I remember seeing all the pictures on the wall dancing and glass breaking

Definitely choose your door jambs carefully.
