..."huh, this must be another earthquake" (casually positions self under door frame).
I suppose the lesser one we had a number of year back during which I was trying to figure out if the friend's house I was at had a loud home alone style furnace was enough experience to recognize it.
It was funny because it was at work (an indoor climbing gym) so once I got to the doorframe my second concern was if anyone was on the wall (only one of the route setters on an extension ladder, and he got down from that right quick). Then it was laughing while one of the employees was sure we were tricking him into thinking it really was an earthquake and then asking where the epicenter was while things are still shaking (he's not the brightest bulb sometimes).
Supposedly upstairs got a bit more swaying and we just got a nice vibration rumble.

You're right, the reason it's news is because we don't get earthquakes that poweful. Hence, I posted *NM*

I doubt things are broken- it wasn't too strong by the time it got to me, at least 100 miles away.

Probably worth remembering most of the buildings aren't designed for that
