Lucy Jones, 10 min. after the 7/29 Chino Hills earthquake

At the time of the July 29, 2008 Chino Hills earthquake (magnitude 5.4), Dr. Lucy Jones (U.S. Geological Survey) and Mark Benthien (Southern California Earthquake Center) were meeting at the Orange County Red Cross headquarters with Orange County emergency managers and others about their participation in the "Great Southern California ShakeOut" this November (see www.ShakeOut.org). This video was filmed 10 minutes after the shaking stopped, in the parking lot with others who had evacuated the building. During the shaking, everyone in the meeting did what we all should do- drop, cover, and hold on.

i live in redlands, and i felt the chino hills earthquake. Usually, by the time you realize its an earthquake, its done and over. As far as people telling you to duck and cover, thats not a priority. The "Fight or Flight" response takes over and you run...its kinda natural reaction

there are so many people who say what you should or shouldnt do it is hard to say what to do--and i live in california!!! if i am with in 10 feet of the exit to a building you bet your ass i am going to run outside--probably even less. you usually will hear the quake coming depending on how far away you are from it(the epicenter). either way the safest place to be is OUTSIDE! earthquakes dont kill!!! it is the structures that do!!!(of course depending on the magnitude)
