Did everyone hear the noise?
I've been surprised that nobody has mentioned the noise when the earthquake shook us all up about 1am. When I woke up, not only was my bed bouncing and shaking but it sounded like there was a train in the basement. Very loud. Didn't last long and was not repeated with subsequent tremors or after shocks.
A friend in Perla Marina was lying awake reading when the earthquake occurred. She said she could hear the noise approaching and immediately worried that it might be a tornado coming.
To me, the combination of the noise and the violent motion made it even more frightening than if it were just the motion.
