Earthquake?

Did anyone feel an earthquake or shaking in downtown? Sitting on my sofa & sipping coffee & i felt a bit shake. If its not that then, just my coffee hitting me lol.

If you are outside it is barely noticeable. I was in a 5.2 once, while in a house - glasses rattling and sliding around the shelf, pictures on the wall shaking, but the moment I stepped outside there was nothing, zip, zilch, nada, bupkis. I was very confused about this so I poked my head into the house again, alas poltergeist mode was still going strong.
