To all:
Started shaking at 11:42:15 AM with a gentle movement and slight sound of things moving. Maybe some 4 to 6 seconds. Then it began to shake more rapidly with a few jolts and a circular motion as seen as the movement blurred things in the house. The usual creaking and shuddering of the house and its contents lasted for some 8 to 10 seconds. Nothing fell or moved dramatically. Then as it subsided we rolled for about 10 seconds. Have not felt any other movement and it is now 12:26 PM.

I will say our two cats and 1 dog did exhibit unusual behavior for some 24 to 36 hours before the quake. Enough to say to ourselves, earthquake? The cats either wanted in the house, voicing their request loudly or would not eat as normal. The dog, who is VERY old seemed disoriented. My wife has had several dizzy spells before and seems better now. Could be the adrenalin rush.
