It has been very quiet here in Ferndale on the North American Plate, on
this day after Christmas. I was sitting quietly in the living room alone
with the cat drifting in and out, trying to get over this flu and the
lightheadedness from it---the building creaked  then started to wobble.
The window sash weights rumbled and bumped as they always do, a candle
fell over. I stood up with a loud expletive of surprise---and got out of
the way of the bookshelves in case they should topple, but by the time I
stepped over to the bay window out of the way, it was all over. the USGS
site says it was 4.2 off Punta Gorda.
