Not sure if there is a way you can predict a earthquake is coming ?

Was told that when dolphins and whales started surfacing on the Taiwan's shores, it was a sign of an impending earthquake. And sure enough... Taiwan got an earthquake a day later.

In the 2004 Indian Ocean 's earthquake which led to a tsunami across the region that killed more than 200,000 people, the tell-tale sign was that massive number of frogs started appearing on the streets in Indonesia before the quake happened

If nature has a way of telling us of impending disaster, perhaps we should take caution on the strange phenomenon and prepare ourselves for the eventuality.
