1) At first it sounded like part of the house falling and lasted about 5 seconds or so. No neighbours around to verify with.
2) It felt as if a wave had rolled underneath the house, from one side to the other. It only lasted a second but the entire house groaned. I was so thankful that it was so brief otherwise my old house would now be a pile of rubble.(Witness location : Saint-Georges-des-Agoûts (France) (23 km W from epicenter)
This is the way it was described by some 4km from the epicenter. Probably for the first time we have a significant event in France. This is not too far, only 60km from Bordeaux and people felt it there. This is also a shallow earthquake, only 6km depth, so it would have been terrifyingly felt by the French there.
Soon after a 3.1R earthquake aftershock was also reported.
