OK. Tomorrow, Thursday, October 16, is the annual Great ShakeOut, an earthquake drill that reminds people to drop, cover, and hold, and more generally, to raise awareness about earthquake preparedness. It happens at 1016 AM on October 16. The Seattle Auxiliary Communications Service, ACS, will hold a brief radio drill as part of the event.
