I was working in Shatin by 2:00pm today and felt that there was some sort of movement under my chair.It lasted for only 2 seconds and nothing happened I was wondering whether it was an earthquake. Now I see your enquiry so I reply. I am curious too.

At that moment, I was bird watching at Long Valley and strongly felt the ground moving forward and backward.

Here is copied from HKO the details of the earthquake:

Quite a number of local residents from various parts of the
territory reported to have felt this tremor, the duration
of which was several seconds. According to these reports,
the intensity of the tremor was estimated to be IV (four)
on the Modified Mercalli Scale of XII (twelve). Preliminary
analysis placed the epicentre of the earthquake at Deep Bay
in Shenzhen, about 30 kilometres northwest of the Hong Kong
Observatory. The magnitude was estimated to be 2.8 on the
Richter Scale.

I thought someone had driven a car into the side of the house !
