Has anyone experienced an earthquake?

Just curious how does it feel and how does one know that earthquake is here and we need to vacate the house/office etc?

Three that scared me here in central Oklahoma. Each one was different. The first one I heard a boom and then a few seconds later the house shook like a giant had grabbed it shook it. I thought that a military plane had gone down or that there was terrorism explosion somewhere. The epicenter was about 6 miles away. The second one was a long lasting rolling earthquake. And the third one was a single shake and I was sleeping and nearly fell off the bed. We had a lot more smaller ones that sounded like a “whoosh” up against the sunroom. I’d check online in about 20 minutes and sure enough it was a smaller quake.
