I can imagine. I was in my office on Market Street (SF) during the 7.9 quake which destroyed a section of the Bay Bridge, and the Crypress Freeway (Oakland).
I was on the 4th floor of a 7 story brick building built in 1908 by the same company that built the Brooklyn Bridge.

I lived about two miles from the epicenter of the Northridge Quake. Our building fared extremelly well but two blocks away three full blocks of buildings had to come down. My office building was also condemned. Up to about a six does not really effect me anymore after three days of aftershocks but I think a 10.5 would definitly get to me.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

fenix, yeah, no kidding, a 10 or 10.5 would be rattling anyone's nerves!!
The movie, a bit lame, saw the previews for tonight.... President says:'We have to evacuate the WEST COAST'
Yeah right Mr Pres.... evacuate the whole coast, and on which hwy is everyone going to use again? lol... sorry, couldn't be done, not unless they are going to give months OR longer notice!!
Poor Space Needle!! It fell, like TIMBER
guy on bike trying to outrun it, Mikes laughing, going 'yo dude, its only 800 ft high, you don't have to go 20 miles to outrun it'
AND, wonder if Oregonians are upset, they weren't shown or barely talked about!
Well, though 'they' say the Big One will hit us up here anytime, I surely hope its no TEN POINT FIVE!!

The movie should be good, but take it for what it is...entertainment only.
Mind you they are waiting for the "big one". It will come but there is no way of predicting when. When it does hit it will hit Mexico right up to Alaska.
There is no way to get even one third of the west coast population out in time. Hard to even think about the mess that will be.

Amazing wasn't it fenix? There they all stood gazing out onto the new shore............THE END
LOL!
I was thinking, someones gotta die in this one...... and yeah, it turned out to be a scene stolen from the movie Armegeddon, where Bruce Willis stayed behind to detonate the nuke, in this one, it was the FEMA guy, the Presidents best friend who stayed in the hole with the nuke .....
Another thing.... wouldn't there be a lot of fallout from 5 warheads for quite a long time???
Our local news had a team of scientist watch this movie, they were showing them laughing.. and the part about nuking, one guy said 'you cannot meld fault lines together like they did in the movie' I was thinking the same the same thing.
Oh Hollywood, what next?
