You could be living on the same fault line or a minor fault line that was experiencing pressure or minor tremors prior to the quake in the Chicago area. This is not the first time the Chicago area has experience tremors. When my family was living in the Chicago area (St.Charles, IL)in the late 1960's, there was a big enough tremor to shake pictures on the wall. My dad was at work when the tremor happened. He said his desk moved about three inches and everything was knocked over. Our dog was acting very strange all morning-- hiding and very withdrawn. I don't remember this incident since I was so little, but it did happen. There is a major fault line running through the Midwest.Lea Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221897072291314782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677034.post-5292862557530461492010-02-10T19:18:56.533-06:002010-02-10T19:18:56.533-06:00I just read about some guy who conducted a study (...I just read about some guy who conducted a study (you can see why I'm not a journalist *g*), and one of the dog behaviors he reported was "mysterious howling in the middle of the night."

I don't have any scientific data but I've heard that animals have keener senses than we do about such things, and things will happen like bees swarming at random before an earthquake.Average Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955137026396047753noreply@blogger.com
