Just being in Venice is a danger in the event of a major Earthquake, but don't jump into the canal.<br /><br />Because, like in a bathtub when you move and the water splashes from side to side, the same would happen with the canal. Essentially, you and everything and everyone with you would be smashed into the walls repeatedly and dragged either out to sea or further inland, depending on the currents.<br /><br />The trashbag bit is a good idea, but instead of the canal it would be a better idea to find a doorway and crouch beneath it, hands over your head and head between your knees. If you could get under some stairs, that would be better. And preparation for flooding would be a good idea.<br /><br />Man that sounds interesting, though. Two earthquakes in the same month, both around the same area! I would love to study that!Dylan_Hablahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14390392197500525109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-20560638512239792852012-01-31T06:45:42.831-05:002012-01-31T06:45:42.831-05:00Jan- take care of yourself!!!!You know how tough V...Jan- take care of yourself!!!!You know how tough Venice streets can be on your bones and joints.

I am being very good and doing nothing except ice and elevate, and going stir crazy. Fingers crossed!Jan Paghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258468743295160418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-54125974988083434492012-01-29T11:09:08.544-05:002012-01-29T11:09:08.544-05:00Wow another earthquake!
