Have you ever felt an earthquake on the beach or in the sea?

Question

Felt the aftershocks of a 5.4 earthquake today and was running around like a headless chicken; no doubt since everything was shaking (I'm on the highest floor of my apartment too).

So, I got to thinking, has anyone ever felt an earthquake on the beach and looked out into the sea? Does the sea just slosh around?

And how did it feel to have the ground shaking underneath your bare feet on the gritty sand?

Answer 1

my friend was walking on the beach during the quake and had no idea we had one! she didnt feel a thing.

Answer 2

I have never felt it on the beach or on the sand but when there was one in the middle of the night a few months ago the whole house shook. I woke my husband cos i was terrified and he didn't believe me at all until we put the news on the morning after.

Answer 3

Yes I made love to a Beautiful girl on the beach.....I felt the Earth move ....it was Wonderful !

Answer 4

My house is near beach. I am in India Chennai. I felt the earthquake on 26th Dec 2004 at 6.30 am for about 5 seconds.But my instrument earthquake alarm designed by me in the year 2001 and in use in my hall alerted me for 12 minutes.I issued the warning .No body cared for it. At last after 2 hours only Tsunami struck our coast. I heared from one of my friend who was in Gujarat on the day of 2001 earth quake he saw the wave like sea in the land itself.You will feel roaring sound if you stand with bare foot even before the earthquake.
