Earth Quake?

[DJD]

I still have never felt and earthquake in my life. My wife is from California, and she's been through some bad ones. I've slept through a couple small ones hear in Louisville, but never felt one.

While on vacation in Japan I was violently shaken by a quake. It honestly felt like a person shaking me. When I woke up I was several feet away from the spot I went to sleep. We slept on the floor on bamboo mats and it was quite comfortable.
While eating dinner one day we watched the handing lights and items in the house swinging and that was odd to see.
