I was guessing about the same (between 5 & 6) at the time. When it happened, I was waiting for the elevator at work, just heading home, and the elevator arrived in the middle of the excitement as I was braced against a support pillar across the hall. I decided not to get in the elevator just then. :-) The building swayed alarmingly and made creaky noises for 30 seconds or so after the main event ended, which I suppose is not surprising for something built in the 40's.
