But I was lucky, the quake had a North /South shake direction. My mugs were on a East/West wall - they shook along the wall instead of off the shelf. Sounds funny but it's true. In the kitchen, I had cabinets on two walls - those on the North/south walls doors opened out and all the contents spilled out - The East/West cabinets stayed shut and things just jostled around. The only Tiki damage I suffered was my pair of Hawaiian Hula figures by Treasure Craft. The Wahine dove off the shelf and broke her legs. A little super glue here and there...she was good as new. My 30" Panasonic Flat screen TV was a different story.
