I grew up on the San Andreas fault, and we had a serious earthquake, at least once a year. We were taught the safest place to be, during an earthquake, was in a doorframe. But, most of our homes were stick built, which flexes during an earthquake. During the Northridge quake, our home in Van Nuys had little damage, except the cinder block fence and the brick chimney came down. In Israel, most homes are built of brick and stone, which does not flex, but rather crumbles during a quake. Also, Israeli building codes are insufficient, and often flouted. Is it safer to stand in a doorframe, or get outside during a quake in Israel?
