Will I puke sheepy sick ?It affects large things before small sheepish size things. At a moderate distance, Earth would definitely feel it, being stretched this way and that, causing earthquakes and volcanoes and such. But if one was close enough to a source of such gravitational wave energy, the tidal forces of the masses involved would already be tearing Earth apart in a similar way via tidal forces, even in the complete absence of the thing putting out gravitational waves.So point is, try to keep the sheepy pasture reasonably far away from really massive objects.
