What do people feel living in an earthquake area?

I live in CA and the San Andreas fault runs through the state so we have earthquakes every so often. Frankly, you don't think much about it. We have drills in schools about what to do and where to go if one should happen and people know that you get to an open space once the movement stops . Doorways are good places to stand while one is happening. I have been through several fairly strong quakes and expect to be in several others.
