Experience earthquakes (not scared)?

[Dappl3]

Here in NZ we get hundreds of earthquakes a year, most so small you cant feel them. But every now and then the ground reminds you who is truly is charge. Come to think of it i haven't felt one for a while.

Anyway, anyone out there get earthquakes? If so, are they big or small most the time? I hate the "instant" ones where you just violently shake without warning. The ones that start with a light jolt and intensify are actually the ones i like. I must be crazy if ish likes earthquakes xP and i do, a little reminder of the forces deep down, but at the same time i hate em cos they cause huge damage and casualtys, not nice.

Wuf wuf!

Oh of course, the Pacific ring of fire smooths right past your location. Up over California and up to Alaska, and yeah. Do you have any apps that tell you of any earthquakes? We do here.

I live in the middle of the South American Plate, which could explain why I've never experienced any... But there is a city about 100km/62mi from here that I often hear is having small tremors, apparently because it's located right on a shear zone.
