Honest question. What's it like being in an earthquake?

Also, how do cats usually react to them?

@catsalad Not exactly what you asked, but after I lived through the 2011 Virginia earthquake I learned something important. The old advice for surviving an earthquake was that you should take shelter in a door frame, as those are supposed to be structurally stronger than regular walls. But that old advice has been disproven. Experts now agree that you're much safer taking shelter under a table or desk.

I just wish I had heard this before the earthquake rather than after, because I feel like an idiot for spending it standing in a door frame
