My fiancee and I were sitting on the couch. We thought it was our dog shaking (he does that if he scratches long enough) but he was passed out asleep. It felt like our couch was on ball bearings or a balance board.

I was in the beverly ma library at 7:14, it felt like more than a heavy truck was going by.
It felt more like a freight train was rumbling through 10 feet away. But, the train track are a mile away. I guessed it had to be an earthquake and made a report to the USGA site. No books fell of the shelves. Just a heavy deep rumbling sound and dirt road type vibration.
