I was recently in an earthquake class and we discussed where to go in an earthquake.  It was brought up that hiding under a table or desk or standing in a doorway were not the best areas to be during an earthquake as the tables could collapse and the door sheer under pressure from debris. 

The best place to be is outdoors away from things that could fall on you. If you can't get outside, then the "triangle" area next to table or desk is good.
