Chicagos Sears Tower Sways In High Winds

Chicago's Sears Tower Sways in High Winds

Windy City's Landmark Experiences Moderate Sway

Structural Integrity Remains Sound

Chicago, IL - The Sears Tower, Chicago's iconic landmark and one of the tallest buildings in the world, experienced moderate swaying during high winds that swept through the city on Wednesday. The average sway of the towers was measured at approximately six inches.

According to officials from the building's management company, the swaying is within normal parameters and does not pose any safety concerns. The Sears Tower is designed to withstand strong winds and is equipped with sophisticated structural systems to minimize movement.

The swaying was noticeable to some occupants of the building, but there were no reports of any injuries or damage. The building remains open for business and visitor activities are continuing as normal.

The high winds, which reached speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, also affected other tall buildings in Chicago, but none experienced the same level of sway as the Sears Tower.

The Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower, is a 110-story, 1,454-foot-tall skyscraper completed in 1974. It is the second-tallest building in the United States and the 14th-tallest in the world.
