Worst Places To Be When The Big One Strikes

Liv­ing in the Cal­i­for­nia Bay Area, my thoughts turn peri­od­i­cal­ly to the Big One.

Recent­ly I was won­der­ing where the worst places to be in an earth­quake would be (oth­er than in open-heart surgery or some­thing else that is already life-or-death).

Quick thoughts that I had:

• Get­ting a hair­cut
• Walk­ing among the stacks of a library
• In a port-a-pot­ty

I’m sure there are lots of more hor­ri­ble places to be in an earth­quake, but these are the ones that strike par­tic­u­lar fear into my heart.
