This quake felt like someone had given the bed a hard shove, followed by the mild swaying of the apartment building for a minute or two. My wife, who was in the kitchen making a pot of tea, did not feel it.
From what I can gather, the Chileans would call this sort of thing a “seismic event”, rather than an earthquake (or, in Spanish, terremoto, which sounds cool and Japanese-y), as minor bumps like this would hardly be worthy of acknowledgement.
