I was at a busy veterinarian clinic in an old wooden building. Most people calmly went out to the street while things were falling and breaking inside. This one lasted a very long time and the aftershocks seem stronger than the big one in 2010. I was impressed by the overall calmness of most people. Just a few people outside kind of panicked.
