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.
