I felt one this morning, (Monday) about 4 am too, I thought I was having some kind of seizure, then I heard it and the drawer pulls on my dresser began flapping and clicking in unisom, lasted a couple of minutes or more. Don't know how big it was, but it made my dresser shake, and it is one big, heavy dresser.
