Easy to understand the terror people have of re-entering buildings during aftershocks if they've felt it sway that much . . . .
One of the taller buildings in Wellington (only around 22 stories, so short by world standards), has been known to make people on the upper floors seasick in a high wind.
It's designed to sway.
If you bend you don't break as easily.
