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?

We get light temblors fairly regularly. Usually, it’s like a jolt; the building shakes for a millisecond, and then that’s it. You always hope that it’s going to be only one, and it generally is. There are lighter ones that you don’t even feel. In 1989, there was the Loma Prieta earthquake that destroyed a few buildings, collapsed part of the Bay Bridge and trapped several commuters on the Cypress freeway.
But where I am (San Francisco Bay Area) that’s as bad as it’s gotten. There was the Northridge earthquake in Southern California (1994) that did a lot of damage as well.
