There certainly were some miraculous survivals, and it seems it was safer to be out in the open (as long as you weren't too close) like Barbara Orr and the Driscoll boys, than to be inside a building with the flying glass, building collapse and then the fires that started from cooking ranges. It didn't help that the buildings seemed to be largely made of wood.
