Zihuatanejo (63.5 km WNW of epicenter) [Map] / Light shaking (MMI IV) / horizontal (sideways) swinging / 20-30 s : Light shaking. Initial motion was a jolt that settled into a horizontal undulation that could barely be detected. Yesterday, a Mexican individual mentioned the stillness of the air and how ancients warned this meant a shaky night was ahead. Additionally, I mentioned how, at 0242, the dogs all over the city started barking. It was so strange I instantly thought of the animal early warning system. Very interesting to experience. | 3 users found this interesting.

Woke my wife up, but I slept right through it.

But, yeah, not just the ancients...anyone who has spent any time in Socal knows there is such a thing as "earthquake weather".
