| #8 It's been downgraded to a 3.8 tremor. I felt a 3.2 in Germany, but you have to be awake and fairly sensitive to do that (living on the top floor of a three-story building doesn't hurt, either). |

| #1 Didn't feel it here on the north shore. Maybe slept too well at 4 a.m., or maybe the snow muffled it. |
