This past Thursday was 'the great shake out' earthquake drill for many and it got me thinking about the time I was on Splash Mountain about to go over the drop when an earthquake hit. We had to evacute through the secret passage ways under the ride, which was pretty cool, but I was bummed we missed out on the best part of the attraction. Which then made me think, where is the worst place to be during an earthquake? At a fair surrounded by rides made from big rigs? In a large group of people, like at Disneyland? In a sports arena? After much thought I've decided Costco would be the worst place to be. The metal shelves reaching to the ceiling of a warehouse piled with pallets of canned goods, laundry detergent, and kitchen wares. No thank you.
Where's the worst place to be during an earthquake in your mind?
(For the record John says a porta potty or a factory where they make glass jars)

I think about this all the time-some underground caves with stalactites in Cancun most recently. The underpass on any LA freeway during rush hour. Or like John, just a really terrible loo.
Haha. I love pensive posts like this. I think it would be scary to be in a high-rise building. Even in small earthquakes those things really rock and roll. I don't even want to think about a big earthquake way up there...
I gotta agree with Costco....that would all come crashing down! I was always a little worried about my apt. in Irvine. I'm sure that sucker wasn't very earthquake safe.
