I've heard that animals can tell when an earthquake is going to occur.

Maybe they knew it was coming and headed for higher ground.

This is just so incredibly awful!
Strange, but maybe they really sensed something was going to happen, and they fled. Well, good that at least they have been spared...


BTW, I heard something on the news the other day, but I don't know if it's true or not. It has been reported that appearantly the people working on the Californian early warning system for earthquakes noticed that something was about to happen, but that the Californian coast wouldn't be affected, so they didn't give out a warning to their people. But they did not inform the now affected countries in South Asia either. And as we know, they don't have any warning sytems, and so the wave hit them - more or less - out of the blue...
