Abstract
We introduce a `tremor’ deformation on strata of translation surfaces. Using it, we give new examples of behaviors of horocycle flow orbits $Uq$ in strata of translation surfaces. In the
genus $2$ stratum $\mathcal{H}(1,1)$ we find orbits $Uq$ which are generic for a measure whose support is strictly contained in $\overline{Uq}$ and find orbits which are not generic for any measure. We also describe a horocycle orbit-closure whose Hausdorff dimension is not an integer.
