I had to go out a little after, and saw some woman picking up her kids from school early, and one of her kids was explaining that she had thought it was a tornado! (A tornado would've been much worse, I think.)
That's comparing bumper cars (earthquake) to a roller coaster (tornado). While hurricanes are far worse than tornadoes - they don't sneak up on you like tornados do.
Earthquakes are even more surprising. I hope your home didn't suffer any damage. The best thing to do right now is anything that fell - don't put it back until a week has passed. Aftershocks can be the same magnitude.
