Interesting personal experience of the Earthquake.

Obviously, this is completely POV and completely unsubstantiable, but I put it here in good faith. Make of it what you will.

At the time, I was camping with some friends about 100 miles to the West of the earthquake site. One of my friends had his dog, Max. Max was a very very well behaved dog. Never barked, never growled. The proverbial "good boy".

But on that afternoon, for a good 3-4 minutes, Max barked and barked, for no apparent reason, and could not be silenced. It wasnt until we went home and saw it on the news (there being no mobile phones in those days) that we realized that Max had been barking at "about" the same time as the earthquake happened. Again, make of this story what you will. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:e422:3c01:b493:ff6a:5783:1221 (talk) 09:23, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
