Not necessarily a story about earthquakes sneaking up on you, but a funny one. I work in Shenzhen right now in China. One day in the office, 11th floor, everyone suddenly feels the floor shake for a few seconds. We're all thinking earthquake. So what do you do when there's an earthquake? Well, I remember being taught in grade school that if you're outside, you make for an open field or area where things can't fall on you. If you're inside, you crawl under a desk, table, anything that can protect you from falling stuff. What does everyone do? Stand up, look at each other, and dash to the window to look outside. I felt kinda stupid being the only one just sitting there, so I went to look out the windows as well. Even more funny? We had an rehearsal later that afternoon for the entire building, to practice what to do in the case of an emergency disaster.
