Have you ever experinece an earthquake and how was it?  

Oneday while I was in my grandmother's home and talking to her suddenly I have got the same experience like yours. The room has several glass windows and all are strangely shuddering and making noises for few seconds. I still remember at the time of earthquake I was in the room and having some humming noise for the same moment beside my ears. The reason is still not clear to me. Within 15 minutes I understand it was an earthquake. In the next morning from the newspaper I understand it happens in the all the north east India.

in the room felt more than out of the room, I experienced an earthquake measuring seven SR and horrified when a house collapsed. The earthquake was quite long for up to 5 minutes, and shaking up all over place. I think my vision problems but it was after seeing my bed move, I just believe it was a great earthquake. I rushed out.

I have experienced many earthquakes. One day I heard terrible sounding BOOM noises like thunder and it scared me. Later, on the news, they said it was an earthquake in our area and the next day there were after shocks. Really frightening!
Another time, I felt the building swaying back and forth as if I was on a boat in water. I flipped out! I could hear the windows rattling and their was a loud roaring noise like as if a truck was outside.
I hope I never experience another earthquake.

I was at school in Syracuse, NY when an earthquake hit not too far away. We thought it was the wind at first (winds in Syracuse are very strong), but it simply lasted longer than your average gust.

Well I live in California so yes I have experienced more than one. There have been several over the years. When the earthquake in San Francisco in I believen 1989 happened I lived in Fresno about 200 miles south of its epicenter. This was the one that occured during the World Serier when the Giants played. Even where I was there was some violent shaking for a few seconds but no major damage. When the TV coverage came on was when we discovered just how devastating that earthquake was. Over the years we have had more than our share. My father once lost 6 feet of water from his pool as a result of an earthquake that shook his southern California home. But, This an area that is well known as earthquake country so we are as used to it as people in the midwest who have to deal tornado season every year. Its just that earthquakes don't happen as frequently.

....Hi wildlittlefan, Happy 2010. I was sitting in my living room, and there was this loud noise, and the house kind of shook. I live on a main street and there is a manhole cover on the street, which rumbles when the cars roll over it. So when I heard the noise and actually felt the shake of the house, I thought it was a big truck rolling over the manhole cover. Turns out on the news, they reported an earthquake about 10 miles or so down the pike from my house. Kind of scary to have an earthquake on the east coast in New Jersey. Take care.

Hey, mate!
Noo... My country is located in not active earthquake zone. I just remember little earthquake in 2004. Hypercenter was in Kaliningrad (Territory, which belongs to Russia, located between Poland and Lithuania. So I was in school. There was a little noises and floor was shaking just a little bit.. that's all. Actually I'm really happy that I live in inactive disaster zone. I'm very sad for asians... for example Phillipines.. they have earthquakes very often...

hi wildlittlefan yes innumerable times from just a tremor to five points nothing to get shook up about,it happens all the time in Southern Ca and nothing you can do about it so just sit still and it will pass. if it gets harder then you worry but so far nothing too bad, we just go on about our business, no use in getting panicked as that does not help. the last time it scooted my desk chair two feet but not one book fell off the shelves. he he he.

I grew up in southern California, and I experienced a ton of small earthquakes. Some of them were at school, and we'd do the "earthquake drill" where we went under our desks until the shaking stopped- they were really mild, the most the did was knock pencils off our desks. I used to think that earthquakes like that were normal for everyone, every where. >w<

I think everybody experienced earthquake, after all we are all in the same planet. I experienced mild earthquakes and they don't really made me fear them. Well, they just make my head spin and hurt.
I always pray that we won't experienced the worst earthquake ever. Many people will get affected for sure. Natural calamities when severe are very traumatic.
