Therefore, I thought I'd share it. I sure hope he's wrong, the world has enough trouble as it is, and if that

We know that dogs and cats are very good indicators of future earthquakes. There is a guy in California, who's name eludes me presently, who is rather famous for predicting earthquakes by the number of lost and found adds in the newspaper about dogs and cats missing. (someone who knows who he is can chime in the identity). When he gets to a critical level (his threshold), he announces and sure enough, the earth responds.
Perhaps there is a sixth sense, if you will, that humans may possess, and perhaps this man possesses that, and they are all in tune with the same phenomena. There has got to be a good reason for being accurate. I do not believe in coincidence, as a rule.

AN EVALUATION OF THE ANIMAL-BEHAVIOR THEORY For Earthquake Prediction
By
RAND B. SCHAAL, Geologist
Geology Department
University of California, Davis
INTRODUCTION
The notion that animals can sense earthquakes before they occur may have originated in ancient Greece in 373 B. C. when rats, weasels, snakes, and centipedes were reported to have moved to safety several days before a destructive earthquake (Quammen, 1985). In recent years earthquake prediction based on premonitory behavior in animals has been attempted in China and Japan, but scientists in this country remain skeptical.
Can a scheme for predicting earthquakes be based on animal behavior? This article contains the conclusions of a statistical test of this theory, based on a temporal comparison between 41,717 reports of missing pets and 224 earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay area over the three year period, 1983-1985.

Very interesting, you brought this up. I'm from the San Fran Bay Area. moved to my Southern Mnt. top 15 years ago.
But, here's a site that has a study of predicting quakes on missing animals....

Historic Earthquakes
Northeast Kentucky, near Sharpsburg, Bath County
1980 07 27 18:52:21.4 UTC
Magnitude 5.2
Intensity VII
Largest Earthquake in Kentucky
• Isoseismal Map
This earthquake, the strongest in the history of Kentucky, was felt over all or parts of 15 States and in Ontario, Canada. Damage occurred in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.
Property damage was estimated at $1 million at Maysville, about 50 kilometers north of the epicenter, in Mason County, where 37 commercial structures and 269 private residences were damaged to some extent. Multistory all-brick structures in the downtown area, many of which were built in the mid-1800's, were affected the most. Broken chimneys represented the most common type of damage observed: several toppled or were broken at or near the roofline, some had bricks loosened or broken off their tops, and others sustained cracks of varying lengths and widths. This type of damage was a community-wide effect only in Maysville.
Cracks formed in the ground about 12 kilometers from the epicenter. East of the epicenter, at Owingsville, ground cracks were estimated to be 6 to 10 centimeters deep and 30 meters long. West of the epicenter, near Little Rock, ground cracks extending toward a cistern were observed on Stoner Road.

I've already wasted time responding to that guy. Just wanted to know how you hit alert, so next time it comes up I know what to do. Thanks, Heather
