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

a few of them. in my home town we got 2 when I was young, strong enough that we had to hold the book shelve cabinets from falling, it was very exciting. another time I was sleeping in a hamac in a cabin in the Amazon forest nearLeticia, at first I thought the wind was shaking the cabin and making my hamac bounce. turns out there had been a pretty big earthquake in Bogota and we felt it but much weaker. also very exciting.
