We had a noticeable one here in '02, about 6:45 a.m. I was exhausted from a long day and night, got up, was real groggy, was on the net and the monitor started shaking, so I grab it to make it stop and am like wtf ? I had a few dust collector beer logo type pint glasses on a bookshelf, they were going to fall, had to go rescue those, the monitor was shaking again, house made a boom/snap noise. I noticed a crack over a door on one end of the house, it settled, 3 doors were now out of align, a lolly column directly below must have settled, not a real old house, was completed in '78, well built on concrete footings and foundation. Nice chunk of a chimney fell off too, part of a corner.
Seems it definitely helped find any weak spots or places it had not settled.
Was the same time of year too, April. I ended up running outside for a reality check, still groggy, early morning gray clouds, grass starting to green up, was kind of surreal at first, glad it was not any stronger. Still have to jack up that column and straighten those doors out, never thought we'd have one that strong here.
