1. Oh yes! My cat was sound asleep on my lap, suddenly woke up and ran from the room

2 seconds later the shelves in the book case next to the chair I was in came crashing down.

2. It's most likely a sound that they can hear that arrives before the actual shaking.

3. What good is a 2 second warning?

4. Well, time enuff to kiss your ass goodbye

6. Seemed more about eight seconds

Which in my experience is pretty close to the alert systems that spring up on tv and cell phones in country.

5. My cat Monster tried hard to lure me into a closet as a hurricane was inbound in Halifax

when l lived there.
