Is it normal to be scared of earthquakes?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes. Earthquakes can feel frightening because they’re unpredictable and outside your control, even if you live somewhere they’re uncommon.

That fear makes sense: the ground suddenly moving can be startling, and worrying about what might happen afterward is human. Lots of people feel uneasy about earthquakes, especially after experiencing one or hearing about a major one.
