Gonna agree with you on that one.
I live in Idaho, and we had a 6.5 about 70 miles from where I live and it was the first earthquake I've ever been in.
It didn't help that I was welding at the time the shaking began. With the hood down, I felt suddenly like I was drunk or going to pass out. I stood up, lifted my hood, and looked up at the metal rack on the wall, and all the tubing, flatbar, and sticks of angle iron were flexing and vibrating on the rack. It was about then I thought to myself, "Oh shit! Is this an earthquake?" and got underneath the platen table until the steel rack calmed down. It was certainly unsettling. The Earth is a wild and beautiful thing.
