Question:

If you are in a two story house during an earthquake, where do you go?

Do you run upstairs or downstairs? What floor are you supposed to be on? Do you go in a doorway or bathtub or under a table?

Answer:

well most quakes usually are quick.so would not matter where you wentBy the time you get there it would be overstill if possible get to a support wall (usually one near the stairs or an elevator) do a duck and cover theredon't try to go up and down stairs you an only trip, fall and get hurtDoorways only work in theory, the house can be thrown off its foundation and twist.doorway would offer little to no protection table does not really offer any eitherA solid enough beam falling can crack right through itBathtubs are for tornadoes, lol.
