Local forums in the area plus people for many kms around are discussing how it's affected them.

..like a train passing underneath the house...

...everything in the wardrobes & cupboards shook...

...furniture moved about...

....ceiling looked like it was being stretched ...

...even window grills rattled...

There was a really bad quake in 2011 in Lorca not far away.

That earthquake was magnitude 5.1 and came almost two hours after a 4.4 magnitude quake had already caused considerable damage and forced many people out of their homes into the city's streets.

That quake was felt in the neighbouring provinces of Almería, Granada and Albacete, but the worst of the damage was done in Lorca, in the province of Murcia, where people were staying outside as aftershocks struck. Up to 10,000 people camped out at the city's fairground.
