Um, please don't do that. The clean up will cost the city a fortune! Seriously, glad you're ok. :)

I'm guessing the proper earthquake procedure is to not die. Or get under a table or doorframe or something.

Proper earthquake procedure :
1. Grab camera.
2. Turn on camera.
3. Watch any Live show on TV to make fun of the scardy pplz.

But seriously, since this isss your 1st earthquake I should also tell you the boring stuff you should do :
Duck under a desk or a table so things don't flatten you during.
Don't approach any windows or balconies, don't get in the elevator and stay away from the stairs, since those are the first things that will collapse. Always expect a replica earthquake in the span of the next 5-10 minutes.
Oh yes, and don't panic! But knowing you, you'd actually go for the camera in the event of another real live one. You are so NOT getting 5* on a video of yourself getting crushed. We clear?!

Amicalement,

Justine, welcome back to LA! lol So how long are you staying here? Or have we scared you off? :)

rly its duck and cover. but welcome to cali. glad all is well

This was my first EQ as well. Is it weird that I found it kinda exciting, instead of scary? Bubba ran under the couch immediately afterward. Poor guy.

The proper procedure is for the city to gather at their nearby Starbucks. ;) Someone should have informed you of that. I apologize, on behalf of this wonderful if unstable city.

Wouldn't you think that after an earthquake, the last place you would want to stand is on a balcony!!!
