With the earthquakes out west I thought I would relate My Earthquake Story:

When I was out in Cali in the 80's I felt one small quake and I was like "That's It? Whats the big deal, the ground shakes a little."

Two weeks latter after returning to Kentucky we had another earthquake (about the same strength) but this one surprised us so much that I jumped up out of the chair and nearly ran out of the building! Turns out Kentucky is home to the largest earthquake to ever hit the US.
