Loma Prieta 1989. About 6.1 and strong enough to wreck a lot of stuff. Lost power for about 1.5 weeks. Didn't do too much damage in my neighborhood, but it knocked a few older buildings down about 10 minutes away from my house.

Lived in California long enough to experience many more mild or small shakers.
 
There have been after-shocks here, but very few, and you really can't feel them. AZ isn't very seismically active.
 
I live in central california, of coarse ive been in earthquakes. There have been a string of tremors along the fault lately too.....
 
Lets see I was in Cali 1989 - 1990, Japan 1990 - 1991, back in Cali 1998. Some lil shakers the fun ones were in Okinawa Japan watching the lights over the pool tables swing at the enlisted club:thumbup:. Thought I was drunk then realized only the lights were moving not the whole room:biggrin:.
 
I was in an itty bitty earthquake once. I slept through it. :p

The only reason it was even news was because earthquakes rarely show up here in Michigan.
 
yeah i have about 2 weeks ago, actually it was 2 of them. When i was visiting Taiwan we were in this small city. It was about 12 o'clock or so and i was getting kind of tired so i went off to bed. I was thinkking about this one scary movie i saw and about to fall asleep and BAM! A medium sized earthquake for a good 30 seconds. The next one is was about 5 days later when we were sitting inside this fancy resteraunt. In the middle of our meal another one hit for about another good 30 seconds and caused a bunch of things to fall down and stuff. It was pretty fun/scary
 
Just had a 6.5 last saturday Slept during it woke up and was like Wtfudge?
First ever I've really ever been in, and my area is known for them.
 
Nope....Florida is too flat. We do have sinkholes, so when one opens up, it kinda feels like one.
