Funny, I've done that too. Way back in my teenage years I suffered a couple of fainting spells. One day in my bedroom I thought I was getting lightheaded again, until I turned around and noticed the curtains swaying.

Many years later I was visiting my dad, and was awakened in the night by...something. Then I heard the fish tank sloshing, until I remembered there was no fish tank. I went to the back yard to see water sloshing back and forth in the swimming pool. I never felt the quake, but I saw its results.
