Worst Case


The forces involved in hurricane winds and high magnitude earth quakes are equivalent to a drop from 500 ft high. This gets the object going 200 MPH by the time it lands. This would be like a car crashing going 200 MPH crashing into a brick wall. You take any common building and run it mentally through a jolt like this and see how well it will stand. Let alone do this kind of start and stop jolting (as in high magnitude earth quakes) for any period of time. This doesn't say anything about the pressure of the hurricane winds.

I looked at a home video documentary on a recent TV show of a large tornado where the winds were about 180 MPH (best I can remember). It showed an RV and other large objects bouncing around many hundreds of feet above the surface of the earth. It showed total destruction to the foundation level of all houses and structures in it's path. This was not even up to 200 MPH yet. What can we expect at 300-400 MPH. The bottom line - this pole shift is not going to be a Sunday picnic.
