So have any of you ever been in one? We just got a tremor here and its sparked my interest to see if you guys have ever been in a earthquake.

Nope, Earthquakes around here in the mid canadian shield are extremely unlikley. Tornados are rare too. Wind/Rain storms are the worst thing around here most years.

In my lifetime I think we've had all of one? A small one to. And I was on the other side of the state when it happened.

Only a minor one. I was trying to sleep one night and then my room felt like it was shaking (almost shivering), my first thought was WTF. :lol: Illinois really isn't known to have earthquakes.

Ive only been in one, and the first thing i thought was "Oh my god, its 2012!" Turns out it was just this once in a lifetime occurrence.

I got caught in the big earthquake in Japan last year. Less fun than you would think.

Melbourne had one...seriously? They are pretty rare in Australia, being in the middle of a plate and all. Thats pretty cool. I remember there was one up north, just a bit south of Cairns last year sometime.
