We don't have basements to hide in and the only thing I would do is run into my master closet which is about 4 feet away from me, so I could run there in a nano-second if I needed to.

In CA, We never got warnings about earthquakes and quite frankly, where would we go?? Maybe some of you who come from tornado country could enlighten me as to why do we need those squealing notices???
Actually most experts would say if you don't have a basement or approved tornado shelter to go to, go to your guest bath, get in the tub and pull a mattress over you if you can. The reason for the warning is they save lives.
