I live in Joplin and yes the May 2011 tornado was bad. How bad? So bad the Gov lied to the American public on many levels including death toll........but thats another thread.....

I typically don’t start threads in this forum but the “animal” senses are making me do it……….

There are many threads here on ATS of personal pets freaking out prior to some type of natural disaster.

We have a cat and this morning she was acting very odd. Very secluded compared to other mornings as she typically begs for the food bowl to be filled. I really did not think much about it until my employee told me how her dog acted last night and this morning……

Her dog is totally “freaking” out. She woke up to her dog standing over her pillow staring at her just a couple inches from her face. Her dog would not leave her side all morning as she prepared for work………

Our weather here is not even close to being one of our typical winters. Yesterday seemed as if spring has arrived. Today the high will hit close to 70 with winds from the south gusting around 50 mph…..

Joplin is not too far from those earthquakes down in Oklahoma and Arkansas were the “fracking” has occurred.

Based on our present weather conditions, a earthquake is more likely to occur compared to other type of weather related natural disaster…….

Maybe these pets actions are something or nothing at all…………

Are there other members around this area having behavioral issues today with their pets?

Could you be experiencing a major change in air pressure?
Wild swings of the barometer could possibly cause sensitive ears a problem?
50 MPH winds seem to indicate some major weather front moving in or out too.....
Not that there could nt be even deeper vibrationary things going on....
There are a series of recent quakes across the center ofthe country that seem to indicate a long diagonal fault slanted towards mexico previosly unknown to us....
Perhaps they are seensing the vibrations of thiese or echoes of same?

What many here don't know is that Joplin as well as the surrounding area was built on top of mines. Below the city is a maze of tunnels, shafts and openings that stretch for miles.

The St John’s 300+ bed hospital was destroyed by the tornado leaving a 10 story shell of a building. Engineers and officials have "banned" the use of blasting in fear of creating a much larger disaster due to the mines below.

They will have to take down the building piece by piece........
