Did anyone just feel the earthquake in Melbourne at about 8.55pm or so?

Heard windows start rattling - then felt the couch and the house shake! I'm in a single story unit with a concrete slab - so it's not the foundations! I can not recall experiencing this before. I've slept through previous reported earthquakes. I live in Dandenong South - so South Eastern suburbs
edit: I'm not the only one - merge/close threads
