The only earthquake I have ever experienced was a few years back when we lived in Spain. We were awoken in the early hours of the morning by an incredibly frightening noise, we had no idea what it was but the sound felt somehow powerful in a way I can't explain. At first I thought a huge lorry had crashed through into our living room and was reving up on full throttle. Then I thought it was a jumbo-jet plane that had crashed in our garden with all engines still on full power. It took a minute or two before we realised what it actually was. The one thing that sticks in my memory the most is that the sound somehow conveyed a sense of awesome, terrifying power, and we hardly felt a thing. There was no damage done anywhere in the locality. It was very frightening even so.
