EARTHQUAKE!

Very short, only about 3 seconds. A little rumble, then a jerk, then rumbles again. Faint aftershocks. Probably about a 4....I hardly ever feel it if it's a 3.

That makes three in three summers, by my experiences. Though the one last August felt much stronger than this, and lasted nearly 8 seconds.

ETA: Apparently, it was a 5.0 quake! The epicenter was about 40 miles from me, in the LA area.
