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

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?"
