DOG ALERT

Franklin started whining and running around about 3-4 minutes before the rest of the dogs in the neighborhood started barking.

I asked him what was up. I tried to get him to settle. He would not.

No more than a minute later I hit the floor and we felt the 5.6 (moderate) earthquake centered 20 miles away in Anza.

It was a rippler; vibrations; not a cracker. A few doors opened in the house.

I have never seen or, rather, heard this dog-effect before. I guess I was just paying attention.

Franklin is still a little spooked and comes now while I am typing to 'talk' some more. We snuggle. Maybe we will get an aftershock in another minute. No. It is done for now.
