A typical black hole merger detected by LIGO is about 100,000 times further away than a local one would be, and 100,000 times smaller than a core one would be.

If the energies involved are 100,000 times greater, and being 100,000 times closer makes the apparent intensity 100,000^2 times greater, then that works out to being a quadrillion times easier to detect.
Is this right? If so, could you feel it?
