*Quake advise for my CALI FRIENDS* A magnitude-4.2 earthquake struck near Castaic on Saturday night, about 20 minutes after a magnitude-3.0 quake hit the same area, the U.S. Geological Survey said. In the wake of this little shaker, we thought wed share a few earthquake safety tips while we have your attention... Do NOT stand in a doorway during an earthquake Instead: DROP, COVER, HOLD ON! Following an earthquake: Do NOT use candles for light. Find the nearest fire extinguishers. If you smell gas in a building, open doors/windows as you move everyone outside. Be a good neighbor. Check on vulnerable neighbors who live alone & those w/ special needs. If behind the wheel during an earthquake pull to side of road & safely STOP, avoiding bridges, tunnels, power lines & other hazards. When safe drive very slowly and treat all darkened signals as 4-way stop! Treat ALL downed wires as energized & potentially lethal.
