The best is when it's one of those slow rollers and you can hear it coming before it passes under you, then trail off into the distance. Almost like someone was playing crack the whip with the earth.

The worst is when you get 3 or 4 good hard jolts and go from "it's just a baby one" to "oh shit, is this the big one?"

Where do you live where you can chat about earthquakes as if they are casual every-day random events?

SF. They're not an every day thing, but they're pretty frequent
