I remember the stories of having to make for the coast, away from the town (guess tsunamis weren't a threat) and my favourite is when our folks lived in the Dominican Republic. Everyone ran out into the street except one American neighbour who remained standing on her dining room table trying to support a chandelier...a recent, expensive, import from the States!
