I don't know, but anyway... If you happen to be under dried chiles when they shake, be sure to keep your eyes closed because the pain could make an earthquake much more pleasant. Been there done that, and that pain lasted hours... ouch!
On a more serious note, the anecdote might suggest that the earthquake produced very high frequency oscillations. Dried plants are relatively light and stiff so that a larger but slow displacement might be harder to spot by looking at them, but they could be much better at transmitting fast oscillations.

- squarefoot 7y agoWell, a fault was involved, although not a geological one:) Read as: don't pick dried chiles directly from below, or at least close the damn eyes...
- schoen 7y agoOh, I see! I thought you meant that you'd actually experienced getting chili pepper in your eyes during an earthquake.
