EARTHQUAKE!

I just hope that Archie and Jughead are okay.

Also, an earthquake in Virginia? That's unusual. Do people there actually know what to do in the event of an earthquake? I remember some people I knew from out east talked about their first experience with an earthquake here in California. He was at work so he ran outside during the earthquake (idiot). She was at home so she jumped in the bathtub (idiot).

Am I an idiot for going under a table during an earthquake?

I'm in Maryland so I felt it too and wasn't too far away from it. It was pretty scary considering I didn't get any response from anyone in my house until after it was over. 'Cause of that I honestly thought I was going crazy momentarily. No real serious damage here tho'.

A friend of mine said that his wall mounted TVs almost came off and there's broken glass everywhere. Various other places in the area got structural damage, some jobs let their employees out early and such. Pretty crazy.

Unless it was made outta glass or folds up a table's fine. School kids get under their desks. Smart place to go. Thing is though a bathtub won't protect your head from falling debris and running outside kills more people than anything else in a quake, they get hit with shit falling off the roof like tiles or satellite dishes. In an earthquake your main objective is to get somewhere that'll protect your head and to a lesser extent can bear a load in the event of a ceiling collapse. The ideal spot is a door frame without a door. A door frame with a door is also fine, but some people get injured when the door swings in the quake either by the door slamming on their fingers or the door knob jabbing them. You weigh your options I guess.

Other than that, don't be anyplace you can fall, don't be near glass and don't be where things will hit you (like in front of a bookshelf).
 
Yeah something is going down underneath the oceans. Lots of weird Earthquakes around the world this year.
