In the early 70s, when we lived in Manchester, there was an earthquake generated by the Pendle Fault, Richter Scale 3 IIRC. It felt like a heavy lorry passing outside, but without the noise.
I was in San Francisco in 1989 a couple of days after their big quake in October of that year and there was an aftershock exactly as you described for Manchester. Very low frequency noiseless vibration and I noticed the liquid level in a bottle of CocaCola moving around. We had the Local TV news on at the time and the presenters dived under the desk

LATER - the initial damage is reported to have been magnified by a gas or similar explosion, presumably not in the design specs
