Anyone ever had dogs & cats in your area acting like they're scared but you can't figure out why?

Several people in my area have noted that their pets are acting weird. The behavior usually amounts to staring out windows and doors whining and shivering and hiding under tables and other furniture etc. .
Or if they are outside they badly want inside even though they never do much any other time.
They also keep tails tucked and sort of slink around like they are in distress.
This is not one or two people but my count has over 20 different households within a ten mile radius that have pets acting in the same way for about 3 days now.
My dog can not seem to settle down and wants to be as close as he can get to me and the Missus. Some thought it is the festival in town but it just set up Yesterday and the behavior has been going on longer than that. And we had no such behavior last year reported.
We are all at a loss and the local vet has no idea but he tells us dogs and cats can sense stuff humans can't.

Well, I don’t think it’s an Earthquake. They don’t have many in Ohio.

I have read of animals behaving strangely just before earthquakes.
Not sure whether there are any asteriods heading this direction soon.

Do you live in an earthquake-prone area?

Coyotes have been snatching up smaller dogs. It happened to my wife’s friend about two weeks ago. I take an air rifle outside with my little Jack Chi.

Muslims eat dogs, right ?
Are they building a Muslim Temple anywhere near ?

I didn't think of that, but it's also a very good possibility.

Turn off the 120 decibel heavy metal music you have on. That may help.

You might take him to the vet for some sedation. It might calm him down for a while, or until whatever is bothering him passes.Melatonin works absolute wonders for stress in dogs (especially at night, of course), and it's very safe and cheap.

I live in the country.. lot of BBQ, lot of guns in the area especially my house. Muslim scum are not a threat but are welcomed to be!

New Madrid is down closer to the Gulf IIRC we are in Southern Ohio so I doubt New Madrid shakes us unless it is real big.
