Double shake, a few seconds each time. My whole house shook, my bed even with my ≈270lb body sitting on it, was shaking heavily. The first shake was*just* long enough to get me thinking it might actually be the start of a major shake (which definitely freaked me out a bit) and then it stopped. The second shake seemed shorter but, the first having stopped when it did, I was also no longer freaked out, so might well have been the same few seconds.
 
Weirdly, I'm still feeling like mini tremors in my body but I can't actually tell they're really happening or if that's just me.

But it's definitely the first time one of our quakes has had my heart racing like that.

Nothing fell though, no damage that I know of.
