Living in California, I go through like 1 or 2 earthquakes a year at least. Nothing very big though. The worst damage was like a cup falling over. One of the most memorable ones to me was one time when we were in a restaurant and a big earthquake started. Everyone went quiet and the windows started shaking and it looked like they were all about to shatter, but then it stopped and everybody started clapping.
But yeah, we have earthquake drills at my school and stuff, but I've never experienced a really devastating one.
Sorry to hear about that one in New Zealand. I hope everyone is ok.
