* don't run during an earthquake, you'll break your leg.

* bathrooms with plumbing in the walls are supposed to be a little stronger.

* blankets can help protect you from breaking windows.

* if you are outside, watch out for trees, powerlines, things falling off buildings (tile roofs, pots), esp. brick buildings

Break your leg? I find that one hard to believe.

have you ever been in an earthquake? esp. outside? it's like trying to run on the swells of an ocean.

The ground literally rolls up and down like a wave. You can see it move if you stand still in an open field.

It’s definitely not something you want to run on.
