Can Gravitational Waves Actually Harm Us or Destroy Planets?

[Charlie G]

I was just wondering what it would feel like if I was hit by a decently powerful gravitational wave.
Would I feel pulled to the source of the wave?
Is there tidal forces present that might stretch me?
Could a gravitational wave actually kill me? Or destroy things like planets?

Gravity waves in the universe are extremely weak, barely detectable even via state of the art equipment...
