Running like hell from earthquake in Eureka, California - Humboldt County - on 1-9-10

Visit http://earthquakedog.blogspot.com/ for the full story. ... I'm seen on the main floor of the Times-Standard newspaper running straight for the exit during the 6.5 magnitude earthquake in Northern California on 1-9-10. I understand that you are supposed to dive under a desk, but seeing as how this was my first real earthquake ... my instinct told me to GET OUT NOW!!! I am very lucky not to have been hit by the piece of debris missing my head by a few inches in the second segment of this clip. After leaving the building, I raced to the other entrance to make sure Jessica and Sophie made it down safely, as seen in the other videos.

Put all of your dog and cats outside to detect planet X before it hits the earth. Early warning system.

I don't blame you for hauling ass out of there. I've lived in California all my life, and I still get freaked out when they happen. I hate the ones that happen at 3:00 in the morning, I get shook at to shit, LOL.

wow I think my nick name for you is swift fox, you certainly ran like the wind ! I can only hope I can pull that off if faced with the same situation because I live in an area where they have not built buildings with earthquake saftey in mind and I rather not be here when it happens and the chance of our structures not holding up.
