One witness from the same city reported, "A really strong quake, I was in bed and it woke me up. I jumped from the bed and ran outside, to my surprise houses in my neighborhood looked like they're swinging. The window on my neighbor's house was open and as the earthquake was in the progress it was moving left/right - open/close motion."
