It just moved my house, 50 miles from center here. Nothing fell, just reminded me of the old days when they happened at any time in Calif. I sure miss my one dog now, he used to start barking 3 days before one hit. Alert system - 2 full days of his howling and everyone knew to take any breakable items DOWN and wrap, he was never wrong.

It's so funny you mention this, one of my dogs was extremely upset last night -- snappish, growling and crazy, and he wanted to sleep curled up with me, which never happens unless there's a storm. We couldn't figure it out!

You may have an alert system! Dogs sense things way before we do.

That's what I used to think too. They are more common in the West, but do happen all over.

I think I felt it in VT, hard to tell as they were also grading the road at the same time.

They are reporting that people here in southern Ontario felt it too. I was in a store a litte after and the cashier said she heard the windows rattling! I felt nothing!
