#1 But I heard this morning that "millions" are now out hunting for food, so this could be a short lived reprieve for Bambi and Dumbo.

#2 I don't think it's that complicated. The human species is wired for curiosity. When all of the sudden the bay recedes, fish are flapping around on the waterless bottom, and you hear a massive roar coming from offshore, what do we do? Head down to the coast to check out the excitement. What do animals do? Get the hell out dodge. A few hundred yards inland or a few dozen feet upslope was probably plenty in most instances.

#3 Add the fact the shore area was crowded with people anyway, that alone would scare animals off.

#4 Animals are known to react to earthquakes before we feel them.Could be the frequency they hear that we can not.

#7 BTW - Seismic Cows would be an excellent name for a rock band.
