I've never felt an Earthquake before, but I would imagine why it would be frightening to those who haven't felt one before.
I'm in Minnesota, I've been inside a few Tornaodos, but nothing else. I hope everyone will be safe in these coming days.

Back when my family and I lived in Japan, there had been a few smaller earthquakes that hit in the area we lived in and I didn't think much of them. Then one rainy night, there was a big enough one that everything was dancing including the mirror that was bouncing off the wall (though it didn't fall down). It lasted a pretty long time and when we went back inside, I was pretty freaked out, then again, I was about 9 years old. Fast forward 12 years and living in Okinawa, I had just come in from working at the chow hall and sat down to read the Stars and Stripes when everything started shaking. I watched a crack form in the wall around the window. I just went back to reading the paper. I even slept through earthquakes in SoCal.
Sure, if the quake is big enough, it might rattle someone pretty good, but a small one is no worse than the 18 wheeler that is driving down the street outside your house, ya barely notice it.
