I'll probably be chastised for preaching to the choir, but all most everything in nature such as wind on trees, tides and manmade elements cars rumbling down the street cause seismic waves. That's common knowledge, and seismographs have to be filtered as a result of this 'background' noise. So I wasn't surprised that seismic activity was discovred but at the magnitude of it.

1. Hybrid construction isn't that unique, is it?
2. Why would hybrid construction give additional loading? Is that vs. what steel alone would have been for a building that size? Could a building that size have been built in steel alone?
