Three that scared me and each one was different. The first one was centered about 5 miles away and it was a big boom & a couple seconds later the house felt like it had been grabbed & shaken. I thought I was going to faint thinking first it was a bomb, second a military plane from the nearby base went down....the second one was about 5.3 and lasted long enough for me to run from the back bedroom to the living room, to outdoors and back inside...they said it lasted more than a minute and it rolled like in waves. The third one happened when I was sleeping a bit late in the morning and it nearly knocked me out of bed. I’ve also experienced a few smaller ones that felt like a whoosh up against the sunroom (sounded like a big strong gush of wind), those were farther away. And one time was sitting in my recliner and felt a little movement and the parakeets started going nuts flapping their wings and fussing....they did that a few times in the middle of the night for no other apparent reason.

The earthquake was a few hundred miles away but it was felt. The concrete slab of our house shifted. Felt like a wave lasted about 2 minutes.

@FreestyleArt went to visit someone in the early 90’s and we were in a friend’s apartment waiting to go somewhere later on. I was laying on the sofa resting and heard the dishes start rattling in the dish rack. Asked if it was an earthquake and was told no it was because the apartment had rollers underneath it and the building was sensitive to people walking up the stairs etc. I knew better though because of the way they were rattling. It was a little trembler.
Yes. One not too long ago. My bed swayed a couple of times.

@NoGamesTolerated Wow! That would be unnerving!
@ProfessorPlum77 I remember my dad saying he thought the house was caving in.

@NoGamesTolerated Wow! Where was this?

Haven't I seen you in the library with a candlestick?
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@lasergraph Well, I do like libraries. 🕵️
Yes but nothing major.

I was on my bed. It turned into a water bed. The end.

Yes, three small ones. Not much of an experience to speak of.
