Do I have a special power or was it a coincidence?

And animals seem to sense this stuff before we do

maybe jergins is an animal?!

Some kind of mammal, maybe?

Animals pick up on the sounds (which we can't hear).

I woke up in the middle of the night as well, but I didn't know why. Jergins, whatever it is you're doing, stop it!

ten times the speed of sound = 7700 mph

7700/60 is 128, so the surface waves that animals can detect would have gotten to you in less than a minute, just to confirm schwantz' post.

I had a friend in college who used to wake up and know it had been an earthquake, though, and the next morning he'd be right, just like lots of other creatures on the earth, so I don't think it's so improbable - perhaps an aftershock got to you.

If it wasn't a Saturday, I'd vote for garbage truck. But since it was Saturday, it's obviously a latent SUPERPOWER!!!

I was woken up by this.

A similar thing happened to me once; I fell asleep and was BOLTED awake by what sounded like the the house falling down but much much louder.

What actually happened was I was listening to "De-Loused in the Comatorium" and had gone from half-asleep to asleep during "Cicatriz ESP', when it gets silent and the helicopters come in. Oh my word I have never been so startled in my life.

we felt a gnarly shake yesterday. it was pretty low (3.something) but epicenter only a few miles from here

― jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 22 December 2006 00:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i felt that pretty bad. we stormed into the room where the baby was sleeping to make sure he was okay; he didn't even stir. of course two hours later when the cat made a noise he woke up immediately.
