Animals are often credited with superior senses that allow them to intuit danger — from atmospheric changes to storms, tornado and even earthquakes, stories of changes in the behavior of domestic animals, pets and wildlife abound. It sure would be nice to have advance warning before the ground trembles, the walls shake violently, windows shatter and buildings crumble — but alas that’s not likely.
