Know Naturally When An Earthquake Will Strike

Even experienced seismologists cannot accurately predict exactly when an earthquake will hit a specific area. However, we can watch for changes in the natural environment for some clues. Also, dogs, cats and other animals react in different ways, and they can sense when an earthquake is coming. Learn watch for natural signs before an earthquake strikes so you can better prepare yourself.


Instructions


1. Realize that if your pet dog or cat runs away and is missing, it might be an indicator of a future earthquake. If many pets are running away in a short period of time from a specific area, perhaps you should prepare yourself and your loved ones for a natural disaster.


2. Observe your pet. Some animals will scratch at the front or back door and will try to find any way out of the house. They feel vibrations in the ground and will move to the opening they know of.


3. Look and listen for any unusual pet behavior or sounds. If your dog or cat is barking, biting or meowing excessively, your pet could be exhibiting a signal of a future earthquake. Animals act in fear, so they react with any noise or action they can.


4. Watch nearby lakes and bodies of water. If they have decreased and are overflowing, it might be a sign of an earthquake. If you see this sign, go to a safe area.


5. Notice the sky and wind. If you see an unusual calmness in the atmosphere, it might be a sign that an earthquake will hit the area. Look for increased humidity and huge clouds.


6. Stare at the sky. If you notice it has a green appearance, it might be a sign that an earthquake is going to strike.
