Morristown (USA)
The house stood solid.
I could feel the Earth trembling.
I heard loud rumbling.
I would have guessed over a minute.
The report said 35 seconds.
I kept thinking when will this ever stop?

I was deep asleep felt the rumbling and vibration ran through my body,and the sound of trophies falling from my daughter's desk shelf(which I don't know then). I jumped out of my bed instantly. Knowing it's an earthquake yelling at kids to leave the house and go outside. Shaking was obviously longer.

Dover (USA)
Lying in bed, the windows began groaning. At first I thought it was a strong wind. The moment continued, and it became immediately clear to me that it was an earthquake. The walls made sounds distinct from any construction or wind noise. I could hear various glassware and miscellaneous things rattling in their places on the shelves. I vibrated in place, noticeably, but not alarmingly so.
As it didn't resolve itself immediately, I got concerned about the integrity of the house, whether the surrounding infrastructure could endure, but the vibrations didn't intensify. My family started shouting and we walked around as everything shook a little, and then it was over.
In the aftermath we are okay and unharmed, only two cake stands as casualties. They had fallen from the top shelf and hit the counter on the way to the floor, but mostly everything else remained generally in place.
