Being outside, and sitting in your room, watching your furniture shake is a bit different

Only once have we sat through an earthquake that lasted all of 30 seconds. I thought the chair I was sitting on had one of the legs collapse under me but it was the effect of the quake. Elsewhere people looked as though they were sliding to one side. It was a bizarre experience.
