#2 Anonymoose, the whole thing was posted as an apropos to the article about Chinese quake, with a tongue firmly in cheek. ;-)

Not that there are not examples of animals reacting to the upcoming quakes in one form or anoher... they do, but to equate a frog invasion with a sure sign of a quake is, to put it mildly, unwarranted.

#3 It's spring, when amphibians travel to the nearest appropriate vernal breeding ponds or appropriate wet spot. Were it high summer, I'd be concerned.

#4 Worry more about the Chaiten volcanic eruption. It's set to be the biggest in 100 years and perhaps 1,000 years.

Volcanic winter here we come.

#5 Possible - post-Midnite AM Guam time I'd observed more very large sporadic EM sparks-bursts in the skies. However, I didn't detect or sense any strong-yield/magn quakes for Guam as per Guam-specific LAND MOVEMENTS [shear] - D *** NG WINGED TERMITES [Groups, NOT Swarm] WERE OUT AND FLYIN', THOUGH, AT LEAST IN HAGATNA/AGANA + TAMUNING.

#6 Forgot to add that I also observed two large tailed fireballs over the Agana Shopping Center, going South-to-North, which IMO was stwangez [strange] becuz they roughly followed one another widin a ten-minute time frame + along similar sky tracks + direction???
