Do animals really sense in impending earthquake? We witnessed firsthand that they do, at least Drake anyways.
I awoke around 12:15 a.m. because of Drake barking and pacing around the house. Sasha was on her bed with her ears down. I grab a flashlight to see if there may have been a bear or deer or raccoon outside. Nothing.
Then, I felt a "thump" and heard the rattling of glasses in the cabinet. Earthquake. It was just a shudder and nothing more.
I soothe the poochers down and retire to bed.
Then around 1:13 a.m. I hear Drake barking again. I get up. Go outside. Nothing.
I go back to bed...
Then I felt another "thump." My wife was fast asleep.
The quake was centered near Hawthorne, NV. The magnitudes ranges from 5.5 to 5.7.
