Last post of this year’s (seems to be annual) December earthquake tweets on a platform I rarely use anymore. #iykyk. This pretty much sums up our little town dodging a bullet with a 7.0 temblor. The Palace Saloon Christmas tree toppled. Nighty nite. #earthquake #ferndaleca

Ferndalers: don’t panic. America’s tallest living lighted Christmas tree is dark at the moment but FVFD volunteer Dennis DelBiaggio just assured me it will be turned on tonight. #earthquake #ferndaleca

Water line break from #earthquakeca at Main and Ocean. Del Oro Water Co on the job. Water is brown at nearby taps. #ferndaleca

@tvzuke Yes

Damage at Ferndale Cemetery. #earthquake #ferndaleca

Ok. I’ve just done a quick look up and down Main Street. Not one plate glass window out. Incredible. And I was here for the three major quakes in 1992 and the last few December ones. #earthquake #ferndaleca

The wine is safe. #earthquake #ferndaleca

Friends who live out on Centerville near beach coming into town due to tsunami watch. #earthquake #ferndaleca

At the Victorian Inn. #earthquake #temblor

Here’s the situation at the Victorian Inn. Built in 1986, damage to the doors and the bar. #ferndaleca #earthquake

Hearing it was a 6.6? Felt way bigger. #earthquake #ferndaleca

Reflecting now before making a mad rush up to Ferndale Children’s Center, a block from us, to check on granddaughter, our car was jumping in air. Them transformer blew. Crazy strong. #earthquake #ferndaleca

“Guess what kids. It’s a little messy inside. We’re going to play outside.” #earthquake #ferndaleca

Transformer blew at end of Main. Power out. Heading now back to house to check on damage. #ferndaleca #earthquake

Huge quake. At Ferndale Children’s Center to check on grandbaby. Staff has kids underneath play center outside. All good. Has them now singing ABCs. Pre school teachers need a raise.

@smittypap You’re much more stable on that side of town.
