“It started rolling and I could feel it. I had time to jump out of bed and crouch down and call the dog before it stopped. So it was a long rolling one,” Pam Cahill told the San Francisco Chronicle from just north of Eureka.
The USGS first reported the earthquake at 6:50 a.m. local time.
Ferndale is about 120 miles south of the Oregon border.
