@KC3ROB Some construction work going on in the house today, so I decided to work from the Shack instead of my home office.

Participated in #shakeout2023 and some #winlink checkins, then some FT8 in the background!

Step 5: Drop, Cover, and Hold On

Drop, Cover, and Hold On or other recommended actions such as Lock (wheels), Cover, and Hold On – if you feel shaking or get an alert. Your past experience in earthquakes may give you a false

Sitting in a symposium, getting my #SHAKEOUT2023 #winlink #dyfi message ready. Alas, no RF for me today, so Telnet Winlink it is... don't think I'll make the #WaveTalkers meetup either.

I survived the (fake) earthquake. Though I realized that I should have a store of snacks under my desk.

That's what preparedness is all about, people – snacks. Where are they. Where they should be. Don't be caught short.

#shakeout2023 Earthquake preparedness drill. Seems funny to do it in my city, but we did have a real shaker of a time about 15 years ago. I was at work and the building actually moved. It was shocking! #earthquake

In EDT it's almost time for #Shakeout2023. At 10:19 you should crawl under your desk for a minute.

It's a practice for #earthquake preparedness. If there are problems doing it now, you can address them and be ready to #dropCoverHoldOn in case a real quake happens.

I'm not saying you should do this because it's totally against the spirit of the exercise, but if you filled out your #shakeout2023 form at your leisure tonight — as practice, of course! — and then accidentally left it in the queue until 10:19 tomorrow morning, they'd have no way of knowing. 😇 #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Time for my annual enthusiasm to encourage you to crawl under your desk or table.

The #ShakeOut this year is October 19 at 10:19am local time. Watch the clock, imagine an earthquake happening, and immediately drop, cover and hold-on.

#Ottawa area is a prime earthquake risk area, so we should know what to do. Only takes a minute of your time. Plus it's fun to see what's under your desk.
