My sister lives in earthquake country. I’ve been in a flood, tornado
and hurricane, but have never experienced an earthquake. And I can’t even imagine
what it feels like to have the ground underneath you move. “The furniture is
bolted to the walls and artwork is screwed to the wall,” she told me, “no spur
of the moment furniture rearrangement.” My sister printed off this checklist
to make sure she had everything in place and hopes that she will never
experience the big one that’s been predicted for years.
