If there was an proverb

 Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence.
  General George Catlett Marshall

 If there was an eight (magnitude earthquake) on the New Madrid fault, there would maybe be partial collapses, maybe extremely heavy damage. The top of (a high-rise) building would be moving by one to one-and-a-half meters each way.

 If that is the case, it's possible that the new fault line may not rupture all the way through, limiting the potential for a huge earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or higher. That doesn't mean the Northwest isn't susceptible to a major earthquake. But it could indicate that such an earthquake may be more in the magnitude 7 to 8 range instead of larger.

 One of the biggest problems in the world is predicting when and where an earthquake might occur. Until now there was no technology that could precisely chart subterranean pressure or friction building up along the fault lines. This is exactly what we have invented, a system that can map and pin-point exactly where pressures are building up.

 That's how he builds, like a fortress. A lot of people don't think forward, ... What's the point in building a building that can't withstand an earthquake if you're in an earthquake zone?

 That tower's an extremely important building, ... It's not just a high-rise in any town done by any architect, but it's a very specific tower ... which mirrors the aspirations of the sky of New York.

 These include high voltage electricity, extremely hot-water pipes, oxygen-deprived air, etc. Students certainly should never attempt to remove one of the heavy covers from a manhole-they are heavy for a reason.

 An earthquake of this size shakes the ground for quite a distance away from its epicenter so we're expecting that there is damage from this earthquake.

 We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake. Earthquakes greater than magnitude 7 are going to cause intense shaking over a large area — everyone needs to be prepared.

 Almost all the chimneys were down. There was substantial damage to masonry buildings, some collapses, and there was some slight damage to frame buildings.

 [When told it was going to take 80 days to drain flood water out of New Orleans, Conan O'Brien joked that Bush said,] that's almost half a vacation. ... I'm here for the earthquake damage you had back in '94.
  Jay Leno

 It started in the basement, probably from the hot water heater. The building had a partial basement and partial crawl spaces. On first entry, the guys found holes burnt in the floor.

 The roof was made of corrugated iron, more than 10 meters (30 feet) high; several hundred square meters caved in.

 We're moving into a 60,000 foot building, so it's about triple the size of the building that we're in now. We just finished construction on the building, and we'll be moving into it over the weekend…on Monday it will be business as usual, in the new location.

 How high prices rise and how long they stay elevated is still up in the air because we don't know what the ultimate damage is going to be.

 It is wonderful to be able to imagine a building system of this magnitude and then have it work at the high efficiency that it does. Then, to be rewarded for it is a great feeling too.
