Oops, thanks for that clarification.

I take it there were no injuries on board. Did the fa's ask you to assume the crash positions?
I wonder if you know whether any tires were blown, which is a common issue in landing without flaps?
Definitely "outstanding"! I think this was the first time I've been on a domestic flight that everyone clapped once the plane was under control on the ground. They didn't have us take the crash positions and there weren't any injuries. The pilot was very calm and reassured us everything would be fine, just a fast/bumpy landing. It was a surprisingly smooth landing, just fast.
Also, I don't think we had any blown tires, but I didn't think to look when we got off the plane. They said we had to wait for everything to cool down before they would release the fire trucks. We then went with our own power to the gate.
