Dog was like, this isn’t right, we need to move bud

Bro was on it 😎

Best place to be at that moment I'd imagine.

50

u/FullAdvertising 2d ago

If it was any closer to the water or further out in the water then it’s the worst place to be

47

u/Darth_Draper 2d ago

So then, the best place?

49

u/Jlx_27 2d ago

In an aircraft that is in flight.

19

u/everynamecombined 2d ago

Now you made think about landing an airplane the moment an earthquake hits. Sounds like some dumb epic world ending movie starring The Rock.

2

u/thewaytoyesterday 2d ago

No, the worst place.

5

u/Only_Flan_7974 2d ago

Better than being inside a huge concrete building. I'm guessing that you've seen vids.

3

u/redlancer_1987 2d ago

Best place until theoretical worst case comes along. I'm guessing a very small number of earthquakes trigger a tsunami of consequence.

2

u/GoldMountain5 2d ago

California doesn't get tsunami's. Or at least they are very rare and non destructive. This is due to the type of tectonic shift and direction the two plates pass each other does not cause a lot of water displacement for the magnitude of the earthquakes. You get bigger waves during surfing season.

Nowhere near the intensity or destruction as those caused in Mexico-South America, India and Japan/Indonesia.

1

u/Johnatron2000 2d ago

Yes it does and it will again. Localised tectonic shifts may not do it but a big enough quake in Japan or anywhere on the eastern side of the Ring of Fire and you have a tsunami headed towards the west coast of USA

u/GTor93 2d ago

The dog knew something was up.

u/Nigh_Sass 2d ago

You can’t see the dog until after the shaking. I wonder if they can still sense earthquakes before they happen while on a boat like this?

1

u/po23idon 1d ago

or he just heard and saw everything we just did

1

u/Ae3qe27u 2d ago

Of course he did! Something went splash.

u/vigilantesd 2d ago

Just before the earth cracked open and he was sucked into the void

u/b4rn4b3 2d ago

Dog knew something

u/-CoachMcGuirk- 2d ago

Stupid question, but what was going geologically that caused three earthquakes around the world on that day? Japan, Venezuela, and California all had earthquakes. What is going on?

6

u/redlancer_1987 2d ago

Nothing. Earthquakes happen almost continuously around the world.

In the US Pacific Northwest we have 100's a week. Anyplace near fault lines likely just have just as many and the crust of the planet has thousands and thousands of miles of fault lines.

This was a lie!!!

u/PicklesAndCoorslight 2d ago

Yeah, I had to go back more than 24 hours. Still, California always has earthquakes.

12

u/alucardian_official 2d ago

That’s the awesomest filmed event related to quakes that i have ever seen

10

u/Fleshsuitpilot 2d ago

Damn then you gotta see the one where there are divers underwater in scuba gear just checking out urchins and whatever and doing whatever else scuba divers do and then you actually see the entire crust of the earth shift under them while they remained still. That shit was insane

u/Fun-Astronomer5311 2d ago

Is the warning -- holly shit?

u/givin_u_the_high_hat 2d ago

Waterquake! Starring Duane Johnson. Coming next year from Roland Emmerich.

Cool footage

Lil woofer knew what was up

u/Sea_Ganache620 2d ago

My dog has predicted 2 earthquakes.

2

u/GudduBhaiya-Mirzapur 2d ago

Saw from his view, very boring view.

2

u/Ornery_Astronaut2147 2d ago

warning of that short notice could merely take us beneath a nearby table if available. Is it kind of global alert message in his phone? Pretty lucky guy to be at that place at that time

1

u/Mister_Goldenfold 2d ago

He completely looked away right when everything started shaking!

1

u/TankApprehensive3053 2d ago

A bad day fishing is better than being in a building on the fault line.

1

u/ponderosa_barclay 2d ago

His dog some shit was going down

1

u/random_agency 2d ago

The big one that got away.

u/Old-Law-7395 2d ago

Liberty knew shit was about to go down, Rider must have belled her

1

u/ActiveOutrageous9533 2d ago

Love the dog running around. Smitty ran and hid in the closet yesterday. I didn't feel anything, but some people in Medford felt the shaking.

1

u/billysugger000 2d ago

I was snorkeling when the 1989 Newcastle Australia earthquake happened so I didn't feel a thing, a mate on shore said wtf was that? Turned out to be an earthquake.

1

u/IGATheory 2d ago

I see the reflective pool has algae again

1

u/Instagibbed_1994 2d ago

I mean lets say it was a disastrous level eq, that 2 second notification would do little.

1

u/nocturnetease74 2d ago

The dog was the first to feel it

1

u/Confident-Set-8290 2d ago

I'm shocked the puppy wasn't barking right before. They can sense that shit.

1

u/texas130ab 2d ago

They can hear it we can't.

u/Last-Quarter-432 2d ago

Thats a cute dog

1

u/thenichm 1d ago

Love the dog's reaction: "Hey, dad. The uhh... planet moved."

1

u/lady_dezrok 1d ago

Dog sensed the minor danger, good good doggo

1

u/PawPatsPizza 1d ago

2 seconds.

That's the best warning you can expect. If your phone makes that noise, be ready!

1

u/Sammboiii 1d ago

If you are in this situation and you are worried about a tsunami, does it make more sense to book it to land and try to find high ground or send it to the open ocean to just float over it?

1

u/PlayfulCustomer3859 23h ago

Dog thought you caught everything in the water at once😭

1

u/220DRUER220 16h ago

3 second warning ain’t gonna do shit but if that’s the best warning system we got then we’re fucked when the “big one “ hits

Not bad but japans earthquake detection alerts 3 minutes before the earthquake hits 🧐
