Yes. I have seen and experienced many earthquakes. I was hear for the big one a few years back. What I have learnt from the Japanese is wood houses fair better, all tall buildings are on rollers and / or huge dampers. They use cross bracing and stays. These very same racks are in constant use at IKEA and Costco. Twist and collapse occurs mostly due to the long chain of connected racks. If one is unbalanced and falls it brings the others.
