I was close to the center of the 5.3 one in Virginia on 8/23/11 and it felt like someone was jackhammering my driveway for 30 seconds

That *is* what it felt like. Or a large truck.

The 45 seconds long 7+ in Istanbul was my worst. The aftermath was horrible too. The reason why I knew I couldn’t live here. It’s my worst phobia. I would never even want to dream of it ever

When I was studying abroad in the Dominican Republic, we had a 5.something earthquake. My dad called me immediately...to ask if I had gone on to the USGS website yet to report what I felt. (Unsurprisingly, my VERY CONCERNED father is a geologist)

My first earthquake experience is the strongest one, 2004, that triggered Tsunami (I'm in the affected area). It was surreal and dreamlike watching the streets moving and the electrical lines swinging.
