Nearly every day (and sometimes 2 or 3 daily) when I was stationed on Adak Island -- an island off the coast of Alaska in the Aleutians. The worst occurred just a week before I got there -- 8.7 or 8.9 on the Richter scale -- but I saw the aftermath from all the photos my Navy buddy took that day & the next. The first big one after that I was sitting in the office and the file cabinet started shaking, then the floor and the building started moving! I ran next door and asked another Sailor if we needed to evacuate and he said, "Naw, it'll be over in a few minutes." LOL
*The islands are particularly prone to earthquakes, often many with a magnitude of over 5 occur each day.

I have! It wasn't a big one, but it was still scary. I woke up because I thought I heard thunder, but then my bed started shaking! I was a little freaked out.
