Thank you.
You may already have this yahoo earthquaked link thought I would share just the same.
Either my tin foil hat is cutting off blood flow to the brain or there is some freakay shaking goin' on.
The one we had today is at least in a expected zone and 200 mi. out. it's these ones near land here and up in BC that have the scientist puzzled in turn are making me walk around the house going "freakay". Everyone is telling me to shut up about the earthquakes already.
Here the yahoo link

Oh and one of my dogs 10yr old Kolbe is sticking to me like glue which is normal when he is freaked but nothing in that catagory except the massage therapist visiting yesterday.
Earthquakes occuring as they have in your area would rattle anyone's nerves. IMHO you are feeling and acting quite normal for the circumstances.
Also remember life in California - how many folks dash to the grocery store for batteries and water after a quake.
Cats and dogs can supposedly smell radon gas and they can hear higher and lower sound frequencies than humans, all of which occur before a large quake. Your dog is also trying to protect you by staying close, in case you get lost. :-)
A couple of strange things I've noticed before a large quake: A very large dark brown spider suddenly crawled out of an electric wall outlet and scurried up the wall. The earthquake happened about an hour later.
One night I was awakened by the sounds of my cat howling loudly while she was digging a hole to China in the litter box. She emptied all of the kitty litter out of the box. I swept up the still clean litter off the floor and returned it to the box and then went back to bed.
The cat then dug and kicked every bit of the litter out again onto the floor, meowing in protest.
Again, I got up, swept up all the kitty litter off the floor and put it into the box again, but stood there watching the cat.
Cat didn't seem to care that I was watching and again started digging and kicking all of kitty litter out of the box. I decided it better to allow the cat an empty litter box than to lose any more sleep.
A big earthquake shook hard just as I was falling back to sleep.
Earthquakes are natural occurrences, they are as natural as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. The best we can do is make sure everything inside our home is tied down and that we are prepared.
Also, looking at the following site has helped me get perspective on just how often there are earthquakes all over the world.
Magnitude Greater Than 2.5 Earthquakes From Around the World
For example, there was a 3.3 earthquake occurring at 7:17 a.m. on July 16, 2004 4 miles from Riverton, Iowa.
Magnitude 3.3 - IOWA 2004 July 16 12:17:30 UTC
There was a 2.0 earthquake about 86 miles from Memphis Tennessee on Monday at 3:53 a.m.
Magnitude 2.0 - TENNESSEE 2004 July 19 08:53:37 UTC.
A 3.0 quake hit 4 miles from Summerville, South Carolina yesterday (Tuesday) morning at 5:13 a.m.
That quake sent shock waves around the world in less than a minute. Show the map to people who have told you "enough already about earthquakes."
