Interesting. I've reported some of these earthquakes online, and one of the observations I included was that the movement was side to side, not rolling. I thought it was east to west, but after you wrote that (SE to NW), I went hunting for a compass (no luck).
Was out of town Friday afternoon until today so I missed all of the excitement, but none of the cleanup. We (and neighbors) have cracks in the walls; broken glassware from the kitchen cabinet, multiple pictures fell off the wall, and items were thrown out of other cabinets. But it's weird how some places in the house appeared to have been affected while others were not. In one bedroom some items were thrown off a bookshelf that is less than 4' high, while items on a shelf 10' up on the wall only moved a little.
