Me too. I flunked!
I actually experienced a pretty big earthquake when I visited California in 1992. Now I know that half the stuff I was told was wrong!

:lol: 70% :thumbsup: It was the tornado things that confuse me. We turn off the gas, or used to. I think there are auto shut offs now.

Wow, pretty bad at 50%. Here in Texas we are taught about tornados in school, not earthquakes. I still remember the tornado drills in elementary school.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

1992 there were 3 major quakes in a 24 hour period. It was one of our worst here on the north coast.
I should have got 100% on the test but I didnt

Good grief. If I heard that freaggin sound every time I got a wrong answer on a multiple choice quiz back in school, I'da dropped out. (Yeah I failed. 50%) Started off on a roll though - hit my first 4 shots and they loved me! I was feeling pretty good about myself... and then I went cold and the rumblin started... loud and deep too, with a subwoofer.

Yeah, you loved me when I was on top. :cry:

I lived in San Diego for 41 years and only got 4 correct :oops: . I think some of the correct answers like long sleeves are baited. What if your already properly dressed? :thinking: :) Danny

I got 9 out of 10, but I've had this stuff drilled into my head since grade school.
Don't ask me what to do in a hurricane or a blizzard though. I have no clue. :thinking:
