Watched the streets undulate like waves in SF in the late 1970s with 'minor' quakes.
Moved to Australia and noticed when apartment hunting, certain criteria were still on my list for earthquake safety - don't live in the lowlands, especially mudflats or landfill suburbs as they shake the worst. Up in the hills, they weren't near as violent - as long as you weren't perched on the side of a freeway built on a fault-line.
