With regard to my previous post, another observation was that yesterday morning my dog didn’t eat his breakfast. He spent most of the day cowering. We thought he had injured himself somehow but there were no visible signs. I checked his joints and pressed his gums to watch the circulation return and everything was normal. […]

Update: I have since confirmed that the time of the Chinese quake was 2:28pm (CST – Central China Time) and I felt the vibrations between 12:20am and 1:00am.
