The chair was moving and bouncing underneath me, the house was creaking, the windows were wavering, water in the cats bucket was sloshing around.

And that one went on for maybe 10 to 15 seconds.

We are in the Palm Springs area. As of this posting it has not showed up on the earthquake site at the link above. Interested to hear if anyone else felt it.
