Am a developer who often works late.  We have five dogs and three cats who all knew something was going to happen a minute or so before.  The cats wanted out (one puffed up as her tail was like when she sees an unfriendly dog) to the hallway from the main room and the dogs were all barking.  A moment later we had mild shaking for a few seconds and quite loud rumbling noises.  We are about five kilometers outside of Tomar in the Sao Pedro region in a village called Estrada.
