I didn’t even hear about this quake until now and I live one state to the left.

Oh man, that GTA soundtrack is an amazing find. I would have trouble not opening it and zoning out to it over a weekend. Scott Manley? Like from Scotland, astronomer, DJ, “Fly safe!” Scott Manley?

The doorway thing is no longer the standard advice; drop, cover, and hold on is what they say, and also don't run outside. There are other bits, like getting out of your kitchen if you can before dropping and covering.
