That’s what I told the kids during geology (I left out the 4 letter words).

Despite what you see in movies, most people who die in an earthquake are not swallowed up by a crack in the ground. Most of them having something fall on their head, or their whole bodies.

Also, most people who die from volcanoes are not burned to death by lava. They suffocate.

It was a morbid couple of classes.

During the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, one of my friends was playing soccer in one of the big fields in Golden Gate Park. He said you could actually see the ground ripple.
