Picture of the Day - Marie Bauer Shakeout!

Students lined up by class and sitting while awaiting the all-clear to return to their classes following the 2012 Great California Shakeout earthquake drill today at Marie Bauer Elementary School down the alleyway from my house in Paso Robles, CA. The small private preschool across the alleyway from my house was not even aware of the annual earthquake preparedness drill. How many more such private schools across the state were unaware of this annual event? Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).

  1. Did you also submit this to the ShakeOut website, or do you not wish to do that so that you can retain your copyright? Also, I see the pole in the foreground and have to wonder if there's a transformer that could be throwing sparks on them during the real thing. Good to get people thinking, isn't it?

    1. I was unaware such things could even be submitted on the website... I shall look into it! Thanks for the suggestion!
