Yes we had a very small scale earthquake here in IL last year.

I've never actually been "in" an earthquake. But I have felt tremors from a few from a distance. I'm not too far from the New Madrid fault line and the Ozark uplift (I think that's what they call it!).

I was in a hotel in California one night and I thought my kids were jumping on the bed....I woke up feeling around the bed and my husband woke up.....I realized the bed was not bouncing but swaying back and forward. It stopped shortly after. My husband was freaked out about it...I found it interesting...it was a 4.2 on the richter scale...I do have to say I was glad to leave California....

Yes, a 3.5 one in Oklahoma. I was the only one in our house that noticed it. No one believed me until it was on the news that night. We lived three blocks from the railroad and everyone else thought it was a train.
