RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I have only one word for you folks on the east coast: WIMPS! LOL! I think it is wise to evacuate ANY building that is not constructed to earth-quake code; although here is the down side: if the falls, it falls on you. Or if some small pieces break off and fall, they fall on you ;) Sway is good: it means the building is moving with the quake. But still, things get dislodged and get tossed around. I remember after one of the bigger quakes, I left my second story apartment because it was swaying REAL good--a MUCH older building--and when I went back in stuff that had fallen out of my medicine chest had turned the handle on the faucet. What a mess. I was just getting ready to make breakfast and had scrambled eggs on the floor of the kitchen from that one as well. You get (sort of) used to it. I'm waiting for the big one to hit that fault that runs from Chicago to St. Louis. When some of those large skycrapers in Chicago start to topple, that will be interesting ;) Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.

RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I was in the home of a colleague; we were preparing for the new semester with an all day retreat for a committee. As the event happened we thought it was an out of balance washing machine shaking the house. Our host was a little upset at the possibility as the washing machine was not supposed to be in use. I should have checked the mountain on my way home to make sure that Falwell's University is still standing. This is the second earthquake that I have experienced in Lynchubrg. The other was much milder and centered on a fault that is closer to us. Dennis -- Dennis M. Goff Charles A.

RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
We are having construction on our campus. My office started shaking and I wondered what they were doing outside, but there was no equipment operating. No evacuation orders have been given. We are about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. Joe Joseph J. Horton, Ph. D.

EARTHQUAKE! True story: So, I'm in the NYU library talking to the reference librarian and one of the security guards comes over and tells us "The building is being evacuated, you have to leave." I looked at the librarian and she at me and we clearly didn't know why. The librarian told the guard "There's no alarms going off, why should we leave?" The guard said "The alarms will go off shortly but you have to leave now." The guard didn't offer any additional information. Well, after 9/11, if someone tells me to get out of a building, I'm going to get. It was several minutes after I left the library that I hears about the earthquake. Neither I nor the librarian felt anything. The library building is about 50 years old and I assumed was somewhat earthquake resistant but better safe than sorry. So, what are other Tipster's stories? -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: jjhor...@gcc.edu.
