Blue Ocean Whale Watch company reports mass breaching just after the earthquake 35 miles away.
Tour guides and passengers was watching a pair of humpback whales when they noticed three wales in the distance start to breach. Breaching is where a whale breaks the surface of the ocean, leaping into the air before crashing back down.
Kate Cummings, a captain with Blue Ocean Whale Watch, also told the website:"All in all, seven whales within four miles of us were breaching like crazy. I'm usually very skeptical of these sorts of things and lean toward it being a coincidence, but something that pushes me back the other way is the fact that the whales haven't been very surface active in general this year.
