Then the tremor got a little longer and more steady...I think that was the fastest I've seen this body whip out a door down three flights of stairs and out of the building...must have been three seconds flat...Hahaha. Outside, all the light poles were still shaking a couple minutes after the wave. I'm glad after shocks didn't continue throughout the day, I probably wouldn't have gone to sleep.

Carl,

I'd advise you to actually stay inside, in the safest area of your home that's accessible to an exit. If you've not notice all the utility poles that still exist with their spiderweb of attached power lines, live wires are a definite problem after an earthquake. It amazes me all the disagreeable terrain that we can tunnel through here, but still can't out electric/phone/cable lines underground yet.
