Earthquakes

Saw this TV programme tonight about quakes.
Seems as though animals can figger out when a quakes gonna happen by the static electricity that is produced by the tectonic plates before a big shaker.
Cats and dogs and mouses and sundry other critters all go bananas when they get these little shocks. Can't say I blames the buggers!
Buts I ain't got no animal in ma house dang it!
