I've felt one only once. Was down in Acapulco about 20 years ago, just a 10 second tremor in the early morning that shook enough that the beds in the hotel all moved about a foot out from the walls. Nothing major, but it freaked me out some.
Being as I'm a flatlander from the frozen Canadian tundra I've never felt the ground shake more than that vibration created when a large truck rolls by on the street. Something that causes tall buildings to sway... well once is plenty enough for this cat.
Control freaks living in fault zones must really get tweaked by this. No matter how 'in control' you think you are in your life, the planet let's you know every so often that... you aren't.
