This was my first one and it scared the shite out of me. I was dead asleep and woke up to my entire house shaking and things falling off the shelves. I was only a few blocks from the epicenter.
Still better than the Dallas tornadoes though!!

This is exactly how I described the 3.7ish one I felt when in SF a few years ago. I was sleeping and was awakened by what felt like something slamming into the wall that the bed was on. I thought it was a dream and went back to bed. Fortunately, I didn't know it was an earthquake until I went in to work. Didn't sleep well the rest of the week, though. F those things.

This is actually pretty accurate. I wasn't really ready for the exact feel of it cause I had always thought it was just the earth shaking, but it is different and feels like your house has been hit really hard by something.
I can't imagine a 7 or 8. When I woke up I thought the world was ending.

i lived through the 94 earthquake that lasted about 40 seconds. The apartment we lived in collapsed. Trust me, you don't want to be around for one of those.

I think that we're a net donor state. We give more than we get.
