9:44pm: We thought someone was rapidly tapping on our glass goor. We stood up from the couch to look outside and while we were standing at the front door - the whole house shook, my son and I had to grab hold of each other to stop from being knocked off our feet. The glass rattled and the house lurched - as if we were in a car and someone had just slammed on the breaks.  Interesting to experience. No damage, no injuries here. I hope everyone else is ok too.
