Hi @Spookcat
I suspect I could ask you the same question. Never got motion sickness but was never in a high rise when one hit and I've been through several. Usually panic is the first reaction and then safety quickly follows. It has to be over a certain magnitude however.
I was on the freeway once when one hit and it does feel like you have a flat tire.
How are they there?
Most are tiny ones that if you feel it, it just make you wonder "quake or train going by?". Every now and then though, a bigger one comes along that makes everyone stop. Those few seconds of your entire system freezing while you try to gauge how bad the quake is, gets a bit scary. Luckily, we haven't been in any that has caused any damage, but it is nerve-wracking. The one a few hours ago left me a bit nauseous, but I'm not sure if it's from the shaking or that sudden spike in anxiety...
One situation that is burned into my memory was watching an entire restaurant go completely silent while everyone started feeling the building shake. Once it passed, it resumed as normal. It was like someone hit a pause button because no one moved...
