The choice of whether to hold tight or flee the building is a real crap shoot. Folks can be killed or injured lots of ways, both indoors and outdoors. During the 1964 quake here, the shaking lasted four minutes. The ground was rolling so violently that people could hardly stand up. The ground was rippling like sea waves, trees were whipping back and forth, and power lines were falling. A few blocks from where I live now, two children were swallowed up in a crevice just as they ran out the front door of their house. The whole area collapsed into the inlet, and their bodies were never found. A facade fell off a downtown department store and crushed a person in a car. On the lighter side, one guy in an insurance office had a large stuffed grizzly bear mounted in an upright position on a wheeled stand. The beast kept rolling back and forth, and he had to keep dodging out of it's way. Another guy was in an athletic club steam bath when the quake hit, and he ran outside into the freezing weather hardly realizing he was naked. Nature and life can be very capricious! ;)
