but isnt it better to stay indoors, as today most buildings in that area can withstand earthquakes while most people get killed by falling windows out on the streets?

Yup...that shit was HELLA strong. I live about 1 mile or less from the Alum Rock area. My apt complex is old...very very old, Im upstairs and I thought the whole thing was coming down. That was my daughters first earthquake and she was sooo freaked out...poor thing.

I think she meant they went to stand in the doorways, which is what you are supposed to do in an earthquake, In a framed doorway or under a table.
