Having just experienced my first REAL earthquake this past week, I understand the fear. Fortunately, my delivery driver/friend, delivering a case of beer, and I were out the front door within 2 seconds. I can not imagine what it would be like to be in a tall building, unable to escape quickly.
If the quake can not kill you, the panic will.
Oh, no bottles were broken ;)
Please offer prayers for those that did loose their lives in our Philippine quake. Several hundred are know dead, but the toll could have been much worse.
