I was in my office on the second floor of a tilt-up industrial building in Palo Alto. Sadly the earthquake was busy adjusting my property value downward. Coworker and self immediately made our way to the coffee pot (with the power out it would soon go cold). Spent time turning things off, closing windows, and checking that everyone made it out safely and then went out to the parking lot to my truck to listen to the radio (and make another pot of coffee).
Later I dropped by my folks to start a generator and get the lights and TV going and then rounded up my future spouse (her 3rd floor apartment had unloaded some kitchen shelves and a portion of the refrigerator contents) and took her over to her moms for the night and setting up a portable TV.
