I remember when I moved to Buffalo in 1999, there was small earthquake that happened and I felt it while sleeping, I had no idea it was actually an earthquake, I just that there was some construction or big truck passing by my apartment.  But I woke to the news that there had actually been a small earthquake reported that early morning.
