An earthquake survival question
If you live in southern California then I’m SURE you’re aware of the earthquake that just happen today. The earthquake that struck was about a magnitude of 5.6 in the epicenter Chino Hills. Fortunately, I was not there but I was about 30 minutes away…and boy did I felt it.
I met a crazy lady at a park about two days ago and she frantically warned me to take a long vacation outside of the state as soon as possible. She predicted that there’s going to be a massive earthquake that’s going to take place in southern Cali soon and it’s going one of the deadliest ones that will kill hundreds of thousands of lives.
I thanked her, but I didn’t listen to her warnings since she was crazy.
Two days later, which was today, the moment when everything around me started to shake and wobble, I thought, “Maybe that crazy lady isn’t so crazy…fucking mother of shit WE’RE GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
We’re ok.
The earthquake lasted about 10-15 seconds here, and the terrifying experience has lead me to prep myself for the next potential disaster. Since we have a baby in the house, my sister and I talked about it and we made notes of the best spots in our house to hide under if it ever happens.
The plan sounds effective and all, but I even asked her, “What if I’m in the middle of taking a shit and all that goes down?”
I’m not trying to be an asshole or anything but has anyone ever thought of that? Has anyone ever died or gotten injured by getting clobbered by the falling ceilings while they’re trying to shit?
Man, that’s the one of the WORST time of the day to have an earthquake. I sure hope that doesn’t happen to any of us.
what about shaving? what if you were a man, shaving something on your face, and you accidentally shave off an eyebrow, then the earth quake is over and you’re just screwed with one eyebrow left.
hmm maybe the poop thing is worse.

Hi Rebecca
Now with shaving, you’d probably have an absolutely poor reflex if you were to shave off something else on accident.
The the difference is, with shitting that is, the turd stuck halfway in your ass is stopping you from running out of your bathroom.
I’d rather shave or shower while an earthquake ensues, that way, I can probably have the time to grab my towel and bolt out of there.

The earthquake woke me up. I was dreaming…and then suddenly I was awake…I was sitting in bed trying to figure out if it was an earthquake or if it was my sister jumping around….but then I decided that she isn’t that heavy…so it must be an earthquake.

OMG. Only you would think of something like that. I’d just die on the toilet seat or just take my chances.
According to Charmed crazy people making predictions are God’s prophets! Or some thing like that LOLOL.
