I have never experienced an earthquake..I did feel some teeny tiny aftershocks of one but I was a good distance away from where it actually occurred so it was quite minor. What I felt while sitting on the floor of a 3rd floor apartment was sort of like sitting on a raft and having a small wave going under it ( it was just a tiny one) it didn't feel like a shaking that I would have thought it would..
It must be really scary to be close to and experience a much larger quake!!

I live in Los Angeles and I have been in quite a few earthquakes. They are really scary, at first you do not realize it is an earthquake. By the time you figure out what is happening, everything has finished falling and things dont shake anymore.
