@strongodores: I'm an emergency preparedness volunteer for the red cross and from what I've been instructed, hiding under doorways is one of the most common earthquake myths! The myth stems from an earthquake that occured in south america in a community with adobe houses. After the earthquake was over, everyone noticed that the only remaining part of their homes were the doorways. In North America we don't build adobe houses, and hiding under the doorway is definitely not advised! For your own safety, you might want to look into it....

Actually, if you click on the "Better Homes and Garden Link" (when i clicked the "click here for the full article" it asked me to log into BH&G) you'll get taken directly to the page, and all you have to do is click the arrow on the picture icon to the right to see each tip. Wasn't that hard...don't know what you're all complaining about!
