It felt like a sudden "scruff of the neck" shaking type quake. We estimated the direction. We were right in the middle of eating one of my dinners. We decided the quake might prove riskier than the dinner and ran to the doorway. However, now we've finished the dinner (and there is much moaning and groaning), I think the quake was easier to stomach.
