Here is one from the Northern California quake last Saturday. Watch the dog. You don’t need much more proof than that that they can sense a quake before we do.

The dog is lying flat on the ground. He felt the ground move first because he was directly connected to it.
The only direct connection jelly belly in the ergonomic chair had to the ground is his feet, if that.
:37.5 dog freaks
:39 jb’s chair swivels as he starts his bug out
:40 quake now strong enough to open top drawer of light beige file cabinet in foreground.
1.5 seconds doesn’t give special powers to the dog, he simply felt the smaller vibrations first because he was lying flat on the ground.
If the dog had been agitated or howling for the previous 30 minutes, that would be a little more impressive. But it wasn’t and is totally relaxed until 1.5 seconds before we see jelly belly bug out.
Thanks. UR right, the dog knew a few seconds before it “hit”.
