That's what my dad always said! It's like the duck and cover position he said they used to do for nuclear bomb drills when he was a kid.
I lived in San Jose, CA for 4 years, and lived through the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. This 7.1 quake shook the San Fransisco bay area, collapsing part of the Bay Bridge, and disrupting a game of the World Series (SF Giants and the A's if I remember correctly). I had major problems after this quake when I was a kid, and these commercials about "10.5" have given me nightmares. I think I would have a psychological breakdown if I watched this movie...I can't even go on "Earthquake" the ride at Universal Studios!
