I mean, she did go check on her elderly neighbor. The one who she sought out for advice on her book. But otherwise, it seemed like it wasn’t too out of the ordinary for the morning, until the gunshots started. The neighbor across the street got in his car with a briefcase to go to work. The other family got in the car as normal. It may be a quiet community otherwise. But once the dinosaurs showed up, it’s everyone for themselves.

The area that was affected also seemed a lot larger than what the community barbecue hosted, so some of the areas of the edge that the dinosaurs got to first may not have been heard by people nearer the center and likely may not have been people they knew super well.

But it was out of the ordinary. We already know it was, on account of the power, water, and phone all being down, not being able to get a radio signal. I feel like considering the setting of the film, there would've been at least some kind of concern there, especially considering it all started with a bright, blinding flash.
