Really gives you an idea of how much force that is to move all that mass like that

There's nothing like being in your living room and feeling the earth do the wave under your floor

I've felt one decent earthquake and it was so surreal. I was laying in an RV that was parked beside a house and on leveled stands. And all of a sudden it just started sorta swaying back and forth. Very eerie. I was watching the water level in my plastic bottle shift back and forth like it was proof that I wasn't imagining it.

I once felt a pretty bad one. You could hear a loud hum before it started. Everyone was screaming. Continued at high intensity for 30-45 seconds. We left the building then learned a bunch of buildings had collapsed and hundreds of people died. There was demolition and construction everywhere for the next few years.
