First Earthquake in our new house

Dec. 29 about 11:40pm B and I were having a drink and in a pretty heavy discussion when the house shook like a big tree had fallen close by or a couple of big trucks had collided  nearby or a plane crashed at a nearby airport....dishes rattled, then I realized it was an earthquake!  4.9 earthquake centered not far from Victoria, British Columbia.  When we lived in Queensborough, earthquakes always felt more "rolling" like a wave...this was more of a THUD, followed by a bit of shaking....so, quite a different feeling.  Scared the heck out of us!!!  Went outside to check things out...the stars were so clear and bright....just beautiful and everything seemed so peaceful.  Now we hear that there was an earthquake near San Bernardino, California a couple hours earlier...still waiting for more updates.
