  Not to quibble, but a cyclone-force wind would knock anything over, including 
buildings of a size much larger and
heavier than any sauropod, an elephant, and so forth. One would not need a 
cyclone to bring down a sauropod,
methinks.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a
simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all learn to walk soft, walk small, 
see the world around us rather than
zoom by it.
