I remember once, when I was living in California, I was getting dressed for work, and I noticed that all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking. I thought that was pretty weird. But then at that moment, the groud shook in a violent jolt. The dogs must have sensed the high speed p-waves, and were disturbed by them.
I heard a coulpe people were killed in Mexico, and a few hundred injured. The damage was not as bad as in Haiti, partly because the area was sparsely populated, and because even Mexico has better building codes than Haiti does.
