I've experienced a couple of mild earthquakes in my life. Very unsettling to feel what is supposed to be solid ground under you moving about like jello.

We had one in our area last night too - unfortunately I didn't notice it:

I have been at least 2 really good ones chimneys falling on to the roofs in one I had a big tractor shed after it had all calmed down my 6 ton tractor was straddling a big packet of construction beams

It's a big reason down here why we build in steel and timber ( they bend not break)  Thailand would be screwed if they had a good sized earthquake, they have reinforced beams ( sort of ) but the infill brick panels would pop out and crush people
