144.3 km NE of epicenter [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / 5-10 s : I live on the third floor apartment of a 76 year old building with a wooden floor so I learned to detect the difference between a shallow earthquake (even if weak) and other factors that can cause shaking. It was weak shaking but systematic and it lasted 7 or 8 seconds.
