That’s because the U.S Geological Service reported a 2.1 magnitude earthquake which they said was centered just slightly north of the city.

A 2.1 magnitude quake is probably not something that many people would have even noticed although pets and animals who are more sensitive to disturbances like earthquakes may have noticed.

Which means if your dog got restless, woke you up or had a strange reaction, now you know why.
