I never seem to feel earthquakes. About five years ago one happened while I was at work. It was interesting that only some people felt it even though we were in the same building; a couple hundred miles from the epicenter.

Yep, I'm the same way. We get small (in the 5s) earthquakes up here every once in a while, but I never feel them. I recall learning of several in high school that were a complete surprise to me. But then we had the 6.8 quake in 2001 and that was a whole 'nother ballgame. I've never felt something like that before...the ground felt like it was rolling in waves under our feet. And of course several of us at work did the exact opposite of what we had been taught all those years in school (duck, cover and hold) - we froze in hallways and just stood there, got in doorways, some ran outside!
