The tragedy of feeling an earthquake

Channelnewsasia points out how unusual earthquakes are in Singapore. . .

"I was in the room. My head was basically down on the floor. And I just feel giddy. I thought it was just my blood pressure playing tricks on me. I heard everyone shouting earthquake," said one [negligently unnamed] resident.

The first earthquake I felt was in Massachusetts. Unlike the 700 Singaporeans who called the police, I and my dormmates did what any American would do: we asked the kids from California how to behave. Tip: fainting and tying up the phone when you have no information is not productive. Shouting earthquake?!
