Shakin'!
(Originally posted by Donna Littlejohn on July 29, 2008 11:49 AM)Wow, quite an earthquake -- I just talked to Capt. Daniel Pantoja at the Harbor Animal Care Center in San Pedro who said people and animals there alike appear to be fine.
"It was pretty strong," he said. "The chair I was sitting in just started rolling. I thought we were going to have a barking nightmare, but everything was pretty quiet, business as usual."
Staff was going to do a walk-through to make sure there's no damage to the new shelter that just opened this summer.
Any animal issues/stories out there with the quake?
