Seismic Eyes
Congratulations to Tom Pelletier and Jim Smith, who provided the best answers to the most recent Seismic Eyes question.  They correctly answered that diving into a bottom cargo bay is about the best protection possible in a warehouse type "big box" store.  Those buildings are generally tilt-ups, and the walls can fall outward, and the roof can come down, while at the same time pallets of heavy merchandise can be dumping in the aisles.  Occupants have a maximum time to protect themselves of about 2.6 seconds in a serious, nearby quake. 
 
You, too, can play our Seismic Eyes game and see what you might learn!  Whether you are right or wrong or in between, if you e-mail us an answer, we'll send back some feedback and a little known tip about safety.  Best answers will receive special discounts or promotional items in keeping with the season.  We might even publish a winner's name on the web, but of course only with your permission.
 
Just be sure to use the words "Seismic Eyes" in the subject line of your email reply.  Thanks!
The current question is:  Let's say you've just come out of a market or restaurant and gotten in your car when a strong earthquake hits.  It's a weekend evening in September, about 7 PM.  What should you do?  Describe at least three things you should do (or not) in the first 15 minutes or so.
 
Send your responses to this e-mail:  earthquakesolutions@earthlink.net.  It will help us screen out junk e-mail if you will put "Seismic Eyes" in the subject line.
 
Each person who submits an answer will receive helpful feedback.  Also, please return here for more questions in the future!
