There was what felt like a massive earthquake while I was at work a few weeks ago, although it ranged only 4 or 5 on Japans earthquake scale and the building I'm working in is very new and *should* be earthquake proof, it didn't stop myself and a co-worker running down 11 flights of stairs...

"Has it stopped? I think it's over pant-pant"

"No! It's still going! Don't stop! Wheeze!"

"Wait for me! Agh my shoe!"

You're supposed to hide under your desk and wait for the shaking to stop, but no thanks, I will take my chances with the stairs.
