we have dear friends who are moving to Japan next week. tornadoes and hurricanes don’t scare me, but the thought of earthquakes scare me to death.
Tornadoes and hurricanes do scare the Princess, imagine what she’d think of an earhquake.
some time ago I read an article about precautions during an earthquake. IIIRC, it was the “dead space” theory. It claimed that by placing yourself next to a large object (bed, desk) you can avoid the worst danger to your person. It stated that any falling ceiling, for instance, will seek a large object to fall on, and that the space adjoining that large object usually remains clear.
Does anyone with earthquake experience know if this ‘dead space’ theory is accurate ?
