Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 3208477, member: 264"] Experienced several Asian quakes, including significant 2008 tremors in Shanghai linked to the Wenchuan, Sichuan quake 2,000 km away (80K+ killed) No deaths nor extensive damage in Shanghai, but by design co-workers and I experienced a rolling or swaying sensation on an office building’s 38F. Aside from thinking I’d eaten something bad for lunch, I recall subsequently directing my Chinese national colleagues to evacuate and barking “no, don’t take the elevator!” and “move way away from these tall buildings”. Might have been more colorful, but people in other areas and building levels felt little to a lot in different areas of the massive Shanghai city/province. On the ground, I wondered whether the metro or roads all tunneled under the Huangpu River or my 28F apartment on the Puxi side would be safe. Initially, minimal credible info appeared available and I crashed for a night at a nearby Marriott with BBC news. [/QUOTE]
