My cat Mollie became alert 2-3 seconds after the first jolt and then launched her 15 pound body off the chair and ran upstairs. (Upstairs is safer??) My little Chihuahua, Chica, became and barked a couple of times, but I can’ be sure if that was in response to the earthquake or the cat suddenly leaving the room. Sorry you missed the action… it was interesting.

Last night he started running at break neck speed from room to room all around the house. Two minutes later everything started rolling here in Pittsburg.
Guess it wasn’t my presence that excited him after all.

This is normal behavior for her when she feels like it (randomly). She was either completely oblivious, or was trying to tell me something!

My husband was the one who noticed the shaking from just a few feet away. When he mentioned it, I noticed that all of the Halloween decorations that are hanging from our ceiling were rockin’ and rollin’. Ohhhhhh, yeah. Earthquake, as experienced from our home in Antioch.

We didn’t know about it until we saw it on the evening news. But earlier in the evening, my dog did start barking for absolutely no reason that I was aware of. Perhaps she was aware of it.
