Congratulations to Tom Pelletier and Jim Smith, who provided the best answers to the most
recent Seismic Eyes question. They correctly answered that diving into a bottom cargo bay is about the best protection
possible in a warehouse type "big box" store. Those buildings are generally tilt-ups, and the walls can fall outward,
and the roof can come down, while at the same time pallets of heavy merchandise can be dumping in the aisles. Occupants
have a maximum time to protect themselves of about 2.6 seconds in a serious, nearby quake.
You, too, can play our Seismic Eyes game and see what
you might learn! Whether you are right or wrong or in between, if you e-mail us an answer, we'll send back
some feedback and a little known tip about safety. Best answers will receive special discounts or promotional items
in keeping with the season. We might even publish a winner's name on the web, but of course only with your permission.
Just be sure to use the words "Seismic Eyes" in the subject line of your email reply. Thanks!
