For me, living in San Fran, this was a very small quake but different. It lasted long and the noise was different. New England granite plates grinding.

The Loma Prieta in '89 in San Fran was so intense I watched a woman in a computer chair on wheels go all the way across a 20' room and slam into the wall and every right angle in the interior walls went from obtuse to acute then back to normal. Not a chance I would have been able to walk across that room.

Check your gas lines and foundation. There may be aftershocks.
