If you were moving in a car you wouldn't, walking perhaps?
I lived in California many decades ago and felt a few.
If you are sitting it's an eerie feeling, like when sitting in your car and the car next to you moves?
Spatial orientation gets 'twisted'?
If walking it's almost nonexistent unless stationary objects, lamp poles etc. start shaking around you.
Earthquake Magnitude Scale | Michigan Technological University
Magnitude scales can be used to describe earthquakes so small that they are expressed in negative numbers. The scale also has no upper limit. Learn more about how we measure earthquake magnitude.

I can't see a connection to the eclipse; but maybe...the major tectonic shift across the globe, caused some fault stresses and shifting, far away?

Speaking of, check this out.
I have no idea how the people fared, but from the looks of it, not very well.
