My dog Sophie senses 6.5 earthquake in Eureka at the Times-Standard - All three segments

Visit http://earthquakedog.blogspot.com/ for the full story. ... Sophie is seen 15 seconds prior to the start of the earthquake, looking sharply at the floor and dismissing it. About 15 seconds later she again looks sharply at the floor and bolts to the other end of the room when the rumble starts, trying to locate her owner -- who is not the first person out the door, but the third person out, Jessica. Sophie can be seen directly behind Jessica as her back and tail graze the lower right-hand corner of the screen in the first segment. In the second segment Sophie spotted Jessica coming from the sink where she was washing her hands and ran to catch up. She then escorts Jessica safely down the stairs and out of the building.

Indeed they are awesome. Especially the ones who sense earthquakes. I had one wake me up before a 6.3 in Nevada once.

CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_ LA.CA V-2 N-28 THURSDAY_ 65-0429E 35-3 That's solemn warning. We don't know what time. And you don't know what time that this city one day is going to be laying out here in the bottom of this ocean.

Repent, Los Angeles. Repent the rest of you and turn to God. The hour of His wrath is upon the earth. Flee while there's time to flee and come into Christ." William Marrion Branham

Such a good dog.

On a lighter note, that lazy fat dog named sophie sure found some super sonic wheels when finally needed!

Thats because sophie is a house dog... their senses are weakened by their lifestyle too... animals physiology works just like humans.

Stray dogs or dogs trained with heightened senses would sense it easily minutes before the thing happens.
