I told all of my coworkers if I move out there to just tape my reaction the first time I feel an earthquake, I am going to be freaked out.

I experienced a moderate one in Japan in 1980, maybe a 4.0 if I remember correctly. It was strong enough to knock pictures of of walls and for you to feel the building move. The duration was only about 7-10 seconds but that was long enough to get your attention.
