Are Hashem's Creations Giving us Clues?

Is there an earthquake warning in mass migration of frogs or toads in Greece?

[bufo bufo, the common toad]

Well according to The Great Beyond it just may be the predictor:

Toads may be able to predict earthquakes, according to a serendipitous set of observations made in Italy. After every earthquake stories emerge of animals behaving strangely before the ground shook. But hard evidence of animals responding to some kind of mysterious pre-earthquake cue has been lacking.

[....]common toads (Bufo bufo) showed a dramatic change in behaviour five days before an earthquake shook L’Aquila, Italy in April 2009. Grant and her colleague found the toads abandoning spawning days before the shaking started, they report in the Journal of Zoology.
  • "On May 5th, 2008 many Chinese had noticed thousands of frogs on the move. They were seen traveling without fear of traffic as they crossed streets in mass floods. The Chinese government told them that it was just a natural migration for the purpose of propagation. This calmed the people and no one took the omen very seriously. But on Monday, 12th of May, at about 2:45pm, central China region recorded a 7.8 magnitude quake which occurred near Wenchuan County, Sichuan province that killed nearly 10,000 people."

Amazing prophecy

“Today, December 10, 1992, you see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophesies said would come. Even animals and birds are warning us with strange change in their behavior such as the beaching of whales. Why do animals act like they know about the earth’s problems and most humans act like they know nothing?

If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed.”

Another dying gray whale spotted in Puget Sound



Mysterious gray whale deaths in Puget Sound

There has been a recent surge of gray whale deaths in Puget Sound. The latest necropsy showed that this whale was better nourished than previous victims, though a relatively large amount of garbage was found in its stomach including more than 20 plastic bags, small towels, surgical gloves, sweat pants, plastic pieces, duct tape, and a golf ball. Only a kitchen sink was missing.





Gulf oil spill: Plume getting darker - a bad sign






*Live video of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill shows the underwater plume getting significantly darker. A top oil engineering expert says that suggests heavier, more-polluting oil is spewing out. *The color of the oil gushing from the main pipe has changed in color from medium gray to black.
