experienced one about a year ago, maybe 5 second warning. We have to be prepared and if it is a fairly sizable earthquake, the gas must be shut off at individuals locations and for gawd sake's no smoking. Avoid tall structure and cracks on the ground. If you're seen earthquake disaster movies, and the recent videos of Valenzuela, it's time to pray.
