My view of the #greatshakeout today

Earthquake! At the Kingdome Picked a name for my emo/pop punk band, and it turns out the players can't play, play, play, play, play when the earth shake, shake, shake, shake, shakes. Plus, Lou Piniella's Hall of Fame chance.

If you participated in the #GreatShakeOut today and thought, wow, I love earthquakes and I want to read about one during a baseball game, hi!

Come for the first matchup between the Mariners and Cleveland after the 1995 ALCS, stay for Dave Niehaus dropping his microphone and running for cover!

The University of Washington mascot, Dubs the husky, sits under a table. Text on screen reads Drop! Cover! Hold on!, and the logos for the PNSN, UW, and ShakeOut are at the top of the image.

Did you DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON yet today? If not, don't worry - it's never too late to practice earthquake safety! Try doing your own drill at your home, office, or school and take part in the #GreatShakeOut alongside millions of others.

We participated in the #GreatShakeOut today (right in the middle of a meeting), did you?

Nothing like being in LA’s tallest building (and in the same room as the mayor!) when your @myshakeapp.bsky.social early warning alert test goes off #greatshakeout

Earthquakes and volcanoes are tectonic twins! When the Earth’s plates move, they can shake (🌎💢) or erupt (🔥🌋).
Both remind us how important it is to Drop, Cover, and Hold On during the #GreatShakeOut!
Teach kids how Earth’s rumbling can help them stay ready —

California’s annual earthquake drill happens Thursday. Here are details Get ready: The Great California ShakeOut is coming. The event is an annual earthquake drill, aimed at increasing public awareness about what to do during major shaking.

“The best protective action you can take during an earthquake is to drop down, get under your desk, cover your head & hold on to something that's sturdy, like the leg of a table,” CA State Geologist Jeremy Lancaster @cageosurvey.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/science/arti...

What If an Earthquake was Predicted to Happen in Four Days? What Would You Do?? The Great Shakeout is planned for Oct. 16, 2025, at 10:16 AM.  And why aren't you doing it now?! Art by Zeo NOTE: THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL, NO...

geotripper.blogspot.com/2025/09/what... If an earthquake were predicted to happen near you in the next few days, what would you do? But more importantly, why haven't you done it already? #greatshakeout #earthquake

Kiddo's version of a #GreatShakeOut infographic to illustrate the importance of Drop-Cover-Hold On - perhaps not as elegant as the real infographics, but still gets the point across for #earthquake #hazards 😂

Fellow skeeters, esp those who live or visit earthquake-prone regions, don't forget to practice what to do should a quake shake you!! #GreatShakeOut ⚒️

Picture of me under my desk at work in Colorado after practicing earthquake drills—Drop, Cover, and Hold on.

Not too many earthquakes where I live in Colorado, but I‘ve felt earthquakes while traveling in Alaska, Oklahoma, and Japan. I’m participating in #GreatShakeOut because knowing what to do in an earthquake is important for anyone who lives or travels to seismically active places.

I'm in Sacramento, CA and receiving multiple test messages and phone calls about the #GreatShakeOut. The latest being >30 minutes after the initial "event". I guess the goals for the different tests might not be the same?

#shakeout

Up poster showing how to drop to your knees and hands cover the back of your head with your hand and get under a desk and hold on so that it doesn’t move when you shake. It also shows similar steps for folks using a cane, a walker and a wheelchair.

Today is the #GreatShakeOut. Practice protecting yourself during shaking. 35yrs ago today (as a 6th grader) I experienced what I now know to be Rayleigh Waves undulating through Turlock. Giants radio cut out, then sauce flew off stove a few sec later. The street looked like an undulating ocean.
