    There was a 3.5 earthquake in northern California yesterday. I don't know how common an earthquake of that magnitude is there.

    It's very common. I think we can play the losing horn now, for Mr. Emeritus Geologist Guy.

    Here is a good podcast from a USGS scientist. http://www.usgs.gov/corecast/details.asp?ID=76

    Summary - Specific details of earthquakes can not be predicted. They can only make general forecasts about likely places and intensities.

    He actually talks about San Francisco and animal predictions specifically. The podcast pretty much debunks the original video even though it was made a couple of years ago.

    Saw a story on the news one time about how the number of "lost dog reports" goes UP steeply in the couple of days leading up to a quake. They sense it and hightail for safety. It's an obvious spike.

    People, very funny. I do not partake of the hippy lettuce, and neither does our cat. The hippy lettuce makes me fall asleep, one time face down into a plate of food, in front of about ten people, so I just say no.
