When I was staying in Guam around '97 it sorta started out like that. A couple of small ones and then soon after the 8.4 or 8.7(can't remember)big mofo hit and shook us for a little over a minute! That was the longest minute of my life! I thought the world was ending..haha... damn that was scary as hell... sorry guys don't mean to scare ya though!
