It was very strange all the birds & animals were dead silent from beginning to end with strange colors changing as it passed thru probably smog I would guess.

No traffic on the streets, animals quiet, temperature dropped 15 degrees, store front lights coming on. Almost like an old Twilight Zone episode were all the people disappeared.

I would not have known it was going on if it hadn't been for the media hype. Birds and animals carried on as usual.
