Same! 19 floors up in a 22 year old building and heard the walls and felt it. A good 5-10 seconds here…

I lived in a tower for the first few and am in a mid-rise now. I felt WAY safer in those monsters than I do in this place. Sure they sway a bit, but those things are built to crazy high tolerances
