Have you ever experienced an earthquake?

Watching a documentary about natural disasters

I didn't know that earthquakes are the most deadly of them all. I would have guessed that would be hurricanes.
I didn't realize how frequent earthquakes are.

I also thought that the bigger earthquakes could be somewhat predicted, not down to the second but at least close.

That's pretty scary to think about, just laying in bed and your house falls on you with no warning

The strongest was a 4.1. It felt like a large truck rumbled by -- then nothing.

When I was 2, my aunt sat me on top of a washing machine just as it went to spin cycle. It felt like my universe was falling apart. It terrified me.

I imagine this is what a full measure quake is like for adults.

They rock and empty swimming pools, and snap suspension bridges like twigs.
