Thank you. There have also been strange animal behaviors noted, changing well levels, etc. None of these has been consistently associated with earthquake events to my knowledge. Reliable earthquake prediction is still in the future IMHO.
I thought it's been proved fairly recently that strange animal behavior may at times be found prior to an earthquake because of the release of a certain chemical or gas (don't remember which) which accompanies the sort of big geological movements that precede an earthquake. The next step is developing some sort of satellite-based technology to detect the release of said chemical or gas, rather than relying on animals. I am probably remembering this wrong, but this came out around the big earthquake in China. Do we have earthquake scientists among us? Or at least someone who wants to google a bit? Am too lazy right now.
