#1 Another theory holds that other animals can sense weak shocks before an earthquake that are imperceptible to humans.

And seismographs, apparently.

#2 It is not imùpossible that animals are able to smell certain gasses released when ea(rthquake is imminent.

Also a couple decades ago vulcanologist Tazieff advocated measuring electric resistance of the soil as a way to predict earthgeuake.

#4 The trouble is that such "signs" are only obvious after the fact. For instance, somebody just posted a link about frogs coming out in Bakersfield, CA. Does that mean there is going to be an earthquake there? Maybe. They do have earthquakes there every now and then. Most likely coincidence.
