Kind of worried about that...

Supposedly all newer buildings are earthquake proof. But how much that will help in case of a magnitude 9 quake remains to be seen.
I remember reading that buildings on the reclaimed shoreline in Coal Harbour and parts of Yaletown might suffer more due to the soil, but most of Downtown should be otherwise fine (new buildings). But there will be a lot of glass flying when the quake hits...
