(24,377 posts)One of the videos I found using the OP's link showed a pool on an upper floor of a Marriott in Macau that looked as if it was a ground level pool in an earthquake. Another showed a guys aquarium swaying back and forth.
That's basically a Hurricane Katrina going through New York.

(63,221 posts)Just watching that building sway was enough to make me want to vomit. I would completely freak out if I was living in a building like that.

(33,643 posts)Could feel our 32 story building swaying slightly ... it was crazy how hard the wind was blowing and rain coming down but it wasn't THIS bad ... hope everyone made it out alive though given how many live on boats there, it's pretty unthinkable that a lot of people didn't perish.
