Not me, the earth shaking. Been talking briefly with my friend at work here from New Zealand. With the earthquake there the other day I was checking to see if his family were affected and luckily they were not, they all live near Auckland in the north island and not near Christchurch on the south island where the earthquake was.
Being in California it is something I think about occasionally, just look at this USGS webpage to see how active the earth is around here. Generally though unless the magnitude hits 3.0 or above you don't even notice it. I've only felt a couple in all my years here, the largest being a 5.0 that was about 30 miles from me. It happened one Sunday morning and I woke up wondering why the bed was rocking back and forth slightly. It is slightly strange since you don't hear anything and everything is silent for a moment afterwards, no animal noise or anything really.
I just hope I never have to go through something like what happened in New Zealand personally.
