    That can't be real. It looks like the reflections in the glass don't match the empty parking lot. I'd love it if it were real, though.

    Screw into the metal window frames Sparky? That's what all the store owners the Media showed were doing. That way the glass and the interior of the building is protected. I know, in El Paso, this aint an issue.

    Remember your explanation on another thread about the purpose of this forum?

    The reflections look like they are from parking across the street or out in the parking lot.

    And keep gumming up the exterior metal pieces? I don't think so... I would think it would make more sense if they had placed masonry anchors in the walls for these types of occasions.

    And you're right, in the old hometown, it was never really an issue. Except for the occasional wicked sandstorm or small earthquake.

    I can see Bean out there preparing the house for that earthquake that is in the forecast.
