With nothing to do but ponder under a desk for 60 seconds, here are the top nine thoughts you had during the Shakeout.

3. Can you imagine being in a Jell-O factory during an earthquake?
4. How come they haven’t made any good disaster movies about earthquakes?

7. If something was already violently shaking before the earthquake, would it appear normal during one?
8. I just got the Pokemon move ‘Magnitude.’
9. I wonder what an earthquake looks like from space.
