Well, it was only a little one (which is good!) but it's the first earthquake I have ever experienced, so to me it was pretty cool. Especially as it was small enough (2.9 on the Richter scale according to the papers) that noone got hurt and there wasn't any real damage.
I was sitting in my living room, watching TV, when I heard this loud crash (like someone had dropped something really heavy on the street outside), and then felt vibration through the floorboards. It was a bit like having a large truck drive by outside, except that I live on a quiet side street, and we don't get big trucks driving by.
I didn't know what it was at first, and spent a few minutes looking out of windows trying to work out what had happened. It occured to me then that it might have been an earthquake, but I wasn't sure until I saw the papers the next morning. So there you have it, I have now experienced an earthquake.
(Of course, this actually happened a few weeks ago and I have only just gotten around to blogging about it, but hey, better late than never :) )
