Just had a 3.6 earthquake SE of Cleveland. Scared me and the Mrs.
I first thought it was loud thunder, but it didn't have the normal before sound, then I thought the furnace squirrel cage fan let loose or explosion nearby, but sounds/vibrations didn't add up to anything I was familiar with. The house sounded almost like a truck was being driven through the other side. Earthquake was the last thing I thought. Called my bro on other side of town and he felt it too.
Did some searching and found out:

It may have been a wimpy one (not sure?), it was just weird when you haven't experienced it. I'm sure some of you get a few of these throughout the year in some areas. In these parts, I'll chalk it up along with lightning and thunder in a heavy snow storm.
