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?

March 1993, 5:32am, a 5.4 near Salem, Oregon, that lasted 32 seconds, also known as the Spring Break Quake, the house shook and the floor shifted back and forth like how they do at carnival fun houses.

@NativePortlander1970 one here like that, it was a 5.7. It seemed like it was rolling and it lasted a long time.

@cherokeepatti The one I went through felt like it was shifting side to side and back and forth.
