Massive Squid Wash Up in Quake Aftermath

Jumbo Humboldt squid wash-up minutes after 4.0 earthquake hit off the coast of La Jolla

By MICHELLE WAYLAND

Updated 11:42 AM PDT, Mon, Jul 13, 2009

"Dozens of dazed Humboldt squid, which were roughly three- to four-feet long and weighed close to 40 pounds, were found flapping around on La Jolla Shores beach.

“It’s like their equilibrium is all messed up and they don’t know what they’re doing and they can’t back out there,” said beachgoer Bill Baumann. “It was like they got -- I don’t know -- all shook up.”

It didn’t take long for the seagulls to swoop in and start feeding on the squid, so beachgoers ran to the rescue and tried frantically to save them by throwing them back in the water. That proved to be a difficult task for several reasons: they were extremely heavy, very slippery, and when the good Samaritans did manage to get them back them in water, the squid didn’t know which way to go and kept washing back up on shore.

“Some people were saying it was the earthquake this morning that caused them to get disoriented, but who knows? Feher said. "

      Maybe there was one too many Saturday afternoon creature features during my formative years, but what if the "earthquake" was actually the great Kraken leaving his den, and the squid on the shore have been sent to lure people to the waters edge for him to devour???

     fuckit.  I want fried squid.  I'll take the chance of being an extra in The Squid that ate San Diego
