Earthquake
Our house just shuddered for a couple of seconds. Wow. That was either a big one or one that went through our front yard. (There's a fault under our front yard.)

6. Oakland, CA
The first quake I ever felt was like someone throwing something heavy against the side of the house.

The earth opening up is just from movies. Doesn't happen.

That is something I have never experienced. I think I prefer the 30 below zero temps and ice storms we have here in Pa.
