I've experienced numerous quakes, including close to a 7.3 and many others ranging in magnitude. I've seen grown men line up to the bathrooms after quakes. Seen chandeliers swinging so bad they were chipping away the ceiling, watched sidewalks rolling like waves, and transformers on poles blowing up as far as the eye could see.
Being near the epicenter of a 6.5 will ring your bell.
