How to react in a tunnel when an earthquake stikes?

Did you know the George Massey Tunnel has been seismically upgraded to stay level for five minutes before it starts to tilt during a big quake? Five minutes is plenty of time to get through the tunnel but you have to KEEP DRIVING. If even one person stops their vehicle, no one will get out of the tunnel! Apparently some people think it’s a good idea to get out of their car and run but I’ve been advised that if you try to run you will just keep getting thrown to the ground — so stay in your car, drive fast enough to maintain momentum against the shaking and don’t stop until you get through the tunnel. Be Prepared, Not Scared!
