I had a similar experience here in the Vancouver area when Seattle had 
its "big" quake a couple years ago.  The higher up you were in the 
building, the more you noticed it.  The guys on the 5th floor reported 
the blinds shaking back and forth, but they didn't feel anything.  On 
the 10th floor, it definitely felt like a choppy sea.
