I never feel the quakes unless they are 5 or better. Maybe flatulence is my excuse.

Knock on wood, but I’ve never been in an earthquake. At least never felt an earthquake.
The New Madrid fault is pretty close and supposedly is a huge risk. They say when it went in the early 1900’s it made the Mississippi River flow backwards.

Been thru a few big quakes when I lived in California. Got lots of work repairing buildings afterwards.

Lived in Anchorage, Ak for 20 years. There were so many quakes - you got use to them. Large hanging chandelier in the entry way. When you saw that thing swinging - better hang on tight. Here is the annual state stats - Alaska averages 20,000 earth quakes EVERY YEAR - these are the ones you can feel - one mag 7 to 8 quake every year, six mag 6 to 7 quakes every year, 45 mag 5 to 6 quakes every year, 320 mag 4 to 5 quakes every year. This is the state wide average.
At least twice a month we had to reposition all the wife's dishes in the china cabinet.
Hard to believe but you can actually become accustom to all the shaking, rattling and rumbling.
I would guess it's similar to a person living right next to the railroad tracks. After a while they don't even notice the train passing.
