      First off, I apologize for the re-post but the embedded video file was revised. I am the owner of the famous Sophie, and I must point out that the information on each of these videos in inaccurate. The 6.5 magnitude quake happened last Saturday at the Times-Standard newspaper in Eureka. Sophie can be seen in all three segments in the original footage here. The guy at the beginning is not her owner. She is actually bolting to the other end of the room to find me, and when I’m not there she does a loop, catches up with me and escorts me safely down the stairs and out the building. I think at the very least she knew something bad was about to happen.

    • Camera two footage (near the end) seems to suggest that part of the building off-camera began moving first. The dog runs into an already shaking space.

      Cats freaking out before the Loma Prieta earthquake in 89 actually is the reason im hear today. My mom got scared and called my dad who got off early from his job as a UPS driver to help her. he got home before the quake and all the destruction. He was so happy to be alive, so Iwas concieved later that day.
      Or at least thats what they tell me.

      Looks like they heard the quake coming or some kind of unsettling feeling… Like @nononono said, the guy got up b/c something freaked him out, then it hit…

      Well that fat guy started running before the camera started shaking. Does that mean fat people are special too?

      I heard about similar things happening prior to the tsunami back in 2004, that animals sought high ground before it hit. And yet we assume humans are above such creatures because we have the ability to reason…though any cat owner knows that cats are indeed a superior species.
