Looked like the sprinkler system got triggered for some reason...

he probably just went to shit or something
earthquake was just a coincidence

my family lives in eureka, ca; only a few miles from where this video was shot. i was there only a couple weeks ago. glad there were no reported injuries (last i read, anyway).

Bacon! I smell bacon!

here's my question. Why did the dog run Right and everyone else ran left?

That dog probably felt the P-waves, which are the weakest (though fastest) form of seismic wave and are usually not felt by humans (or ignored, as the following S-waves and surface waves are comparatively enormous).

the guy moves at pretty much the same time as the dog. you can only see his chair swivel behind the pole at first. so unless he reacted to the dog running off, there was probably a loud noise both of them heard.

He's probably part German shepherd.

Asbesdust.....


I sure hope not

i felt pwaves my first earthquake...warm ones on my thighs!

We have earthquakes commonly in Alaska. One morning in 4th or 5th grade, my mom woke me up and I told her, "we're going to have an earthquake", and walking to the garage to get in the car a few minutes later it hit.

Never could explain that. I have thought maybe we had an EQ when I was sleeping, and it stuck in my brain.

Way to warn the humans Lassie the cowardly dog!

Did you notice the filing cabinet drawer (lower left hand corner) at :06. I'm sure there was a bit of shaking going on before the big jolt.

Wow, very observant. Sure enough, it slides open slowly. Fascinating stuff.

SQUIRREL??

Not sure if the dog sensed P-Waves... or if it sensed J-Waves. Those are the telepathic (prayer) communications from JEEEEEEEESUS.

Good luck fuckers! I'm out.

Bye! Thanks for all the cookies

If you time the last part with the different view, it's about 5 seconds from when you can see the glass shaking until the first big shock... this is about the same time as the dogs reaction in the starting portion. I think it's just that the earthquake isn't noticable in the first part.

Most Earthquakes we get here can't even be noticed if you are walking around.

Timing is hard to tell....
Dog reacts at 04. drawer slides at 06
Also:
1) I think the guy may have reacted to the dog flying by him at first.
2) speaking of which..... 04 dog gets up..05 dog is out of the frame already....
3) goto 09 to see the chair guy get into some sort of superhero stance....

when you gotta go, you gotta go, no matter what it looks like.

I just instinctively assumed the roof was made of Styrofoam.

That's what I thought too, but then I saw what looked like a sheet of water go down the front of the camera lense. Still can't figure out why it would go off though, no fire.

At a local news station in Arcata, California a dog runs across a room shortly before an earthquake.
