What's Shaking around Pátzcuaro?

Could that have been two earth tremors we just felt here at about 5:37 PM CST Monday? I thought these rare in Michoacán.
The whole house shook for about 6 seconds each time. The two shocks, if that was what they were, were about 10 seconds apart.

The USGS has the 'shaking' registered:

Sorry if link doesn't work - don't know how to properly insert it.

México's seismological agency, (http://www.ssn.unam.mx/SSN/ssn-ultimos.html), was a bit more specific as to the location, listing it as 50 KM south of Nueva Italia.
