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?

Grew up near SF, and experienced many quakes. Little ones feel like your laying on a raft in a pool with waves underneath you. Medium sized quakes feel like someone is shaking your bed. Big ones are just plain scary...especially when shit starts falling down.

@BizSuitStacy Does the power go out with the big ones?

@CrazyMusicLover It can, though building codes in the US are such that the electric grid is unaffected. But broken gas lines and water pipes are a problem.
