<p>i would probably freeze like a dear in headlights :(. in fact, i have a slight paranoia about this scenario. sometimes i think I feel an incipient earthquake and i get panicked not knowing what i'm going to do. but then the moment eventually passes and no earthquake happens and my worry ablates. (this happened to me tonight, btw).</p>
<p>wbu?</p>
<p>Probably also freeze, but in confusion. We don’t get earthquakes here.</p>
<p>East Coast Earthquake of 2011- I SURVIVED.</p>
<p>Run to a park and probably lay on the ground and enjoy the shakiness.</p>
<p>Seriously, I know what earthquakes feel like o.O</p>
<p>Live in Cali for 17 years and you get used to it :)</p>
<p>what do you mean by “large”? I’ve definitely experienced earthquakes (things shook alot, but nothing fell over).
and I have to say, when no one gets hurt, it is AWESOME :D</p>
<p>Freak out & be really confused… I live in Connecticut.</p>
<p>I would freak and have a heart attack. When I felt the east coast earthquake in Maryland that came from Virginia I was sooo frightened</p>
<p>I live in Cali…many many earthquakes here and I have almost a legitimate fear of them. Last time we had an earthquake I jumped half way down my stairs and was about to run out the door when my mom told me to calm the **** down. LOL It was scary as **** though. I’d probably not have the patience to hide under a desk.</p>
<p>There was a mini earthquake in IL a year or two ago, but I slept through it and regret that everyday. Man, if only I was awake!</p>
<p>I Survived the East Coast Earthquake too! although at the time I wasn’t sure if it was an earthquake or not, I thought was construction outside or something.</p>
<p>Also on vacation last year when I was in a hotel there was an earthquake. We were on like the 20th floor watching a movie, and were really confused at first. I didn’t freeze though, I just didn’t know what to do, so I just stayed there. I guess I just really wouldn’t know what to do, I’ve heard in bad ones you should get in the doorway, or get outside, Idk though.</p>
<p>I would maybe go to the doorway just like other earthquakes that happen every year, but sometimes when it’s a small earthquake that I can barely feel I don’t do anything</p>
<p>Go back to bed.</p>
<p>resume taking my SAT practice test</p>
<p>What do you call a large earthquake?</p>
<p>First get confused (from MA) then pray to god I don’t die.</p>
<p>I live in California soo I would probably just continue whatever I’m doing. I’m used to it. If it was really huge I would go under my kitchen table? It’s strong and wood. Actually I really have no idea what I would do I should probably find out what we’re supposed to do.</p>
<p>I was in the east coast earthquake last summer. Living near DC, everyone’s first thought is a terrorist attack, but then I realized the shaking lasted too long and went outside. Oh and I got hit in the head with somtething on a wall shelf in my room, but besides that, not really a big deal</p>
<p>Well like there was one in OKlahoma and one person died from shock…</p>
<p>There’s supposed to be a huge earthquake (like Japan’s) coming up for the Northwest (California, Oregon, Washington). I live in Oregon, so I’ve never experienced an earthquake before in my life, and if this huge one comes, I’d probably scramble underneath my desk or run downstairs like a madwoman. Hopefully it doesn’t ever happen though.</p>
