RE: eek!

Last night on a game forum someone wrote that he was driving a truck "between Microsoft buildings." He was at a traffic light, and he thought "Is it ever windy! Look at those lights sway back and forth." He noticed that the truck in front of him was swaying too, he thought it must have been some wicked wind tunnel effect between the buildings.

Then he noticed that the buildings were swaying too and people were running out of them, he finally realized what was going on.

: )

He didn't mention anything about the Microsoft buildings collapsing.

I was thinking - a seismologist on CBC said that "the big one" would probably be centered off-shore, so not to worry about the effects of this one. OK, if the "big one" is centered off-shore, all these measures architects are taking in California to build quake-resistant buildings will be for naught, it won't protect them from any tidal waves...
