WOW- Just had Big Quake

[N2TORTS]

yuppers still here ......was a big one here. Like Lance ..I'm REALLY close to the epicenter ....shook the whole house for quiet a while. Like most folks mentioned there were a few of them ...but the big one was really felt! Tiff....I'm impressed with your building knowledge, those "beams" are called "Headers". Always found under above a doorway (why they tell ya to stand under a door) and or in various part of your building structure..............

I'm curious if anyone noticed their dogs, etc. acting any differently prior to the shaker.

Is anyone's Tortoise acted funny or different before the big one hit? They all "running" out looking for cover??

Yes .....and Sally my U2.....she knew right off the bat ...before they hit!

 

[Yvonne G]

Well, yeah...but what did she do?

 

[T33's Torts]

My dogs used to scratch at the doors to get it prior, but I don't have dogs anymore, and Tank was probably just like "Excuse me- why is my house rumbling?"

 

[N2TORTS]

Well, yeah...but what did she do?

Got really upset ...feathers fluffed out (offensive gesture) and started screaming .....and believe me Cockatoos are one of the loudest birds on the planet.

 

[Yvonne G]

So, did you realize there was going to be an earth quake, or did you just think she was going crazy?

(This sort of thing just fascinates me)

 

[N2TORTS]

It was about 2 mins before the quake ...at first I did not know what she was screaming about at first ... jumped outta bed and ran into the office to see what she was yacking about ...thought maybe one of the cats (although -they know better) jumped up on her cage (it's covered at night) . Then the Quake hit ....it was hard hit here...Ran and got Cindy and headed for the biggest "header" in the house....She was upset to say the least....and yes Yvonne' I have those same interest on how animals have a 6th sense...Dealing with my seizures the cats know....when they are going to happen or after they happened ...one cat I'm closest with in particular gets "extra affectionate" .

Glad everyone's okay. Your quakes, fires and mud slides makes my snow and cold not so bad

All the torts slept right through it. Since the quake was at night, all were in their enclosure. No one even came out to see what was going on.

 

[Zxsong]

Wow thanks for telling me the procedures of earthquake emergencies! I was NE raised so I only know tornados and black ice. My tort slept through the entire thing.

 

[T33's Torts]

My poor bunny is traumatized.

 

[AZtortMom]

Poor bunny

 

[T33's Torts]

I know. You'd think she'd be used to it.
