At about 4:35(ish) a.m., I woke up unexpectedly and had to pee. Not a normal occurance. Later when it really was time to get up I heard that there was an earthquake about 200+ miles from here at 4:35(ish). Interesting. Normally I am not a light sleeper but maybe that quake shook up my bladder.
Around that same time (4:30 a.m.) Abbott security seen a cougar on the property. They say animals act strangly around the time of a earthquake. I guess the cougar was confused and was reporting to work.
Seriously though, what is up with earthquakes and cougar sightings in Northern Illinois?
BTW, this is the 2nd cougar sighted in the area. A couple weeks ago a cougar was roaming North Chicago and Round Lake (a couple miles from home). Then the next week a cougar which I assumed was that one, was seen, shot and killed by police in someone’s backyard in Chicago. Now there is another one roaming around out there.
