We were at one of the 5 weekly meetings crucial to our survival when the quake hit.
Of course someone had to make the comment: "Well at least we're in the safest place we could be."
Many years ago this story was popular: In a Latin American country an earthquake occurred during the meeting. The elders at one Hall gathered in the back and, after offering a prayer, advised the congregation to stay in the Hall. When the meeting ended and they headed for home they saw that the Kingdom Hall was the only building left standing on the street. At another Hall in the area the elders did a similar thing, they prayed and advised the congregation to head for the street. A few moments later that Hall collapsed.
