Notes from EL TEMBLOR DE VIRGINIA:
"The first warnings of the earthquake may have occurred at the National Zoo, where officials said some animals seemed to feel it coming before people did. The red ruffed lemurs began “alarm calling” a full 15 minutes before the quake hit, zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson said. In the Great Ape House, Iris, an orangutan, let out a guttural holler 10 seconds before keepers felt the quake. The flamingos huddled together in the water seconds before people felt the rumbling. The rheas got excited. And the hooded mergansers — a kind of duck — dashed for the safety of the water."

This morning I said hi to my favorite security guard (OMG TOTES TGIF) and she followed that with some highly rsbf-relevant advice. See, we had an earthquake and now we're having a hurricane. So she told me to LISTEN TO THE ANIMALS. One night at 3am she woke up and didn't hear crickets so she took her kids far away and then there was a tornado at her house. She's an ex-marine so I'll pretty much believe anything she says. LISTEN TO THE ANIMALS>>>>>
