I'm not too sure how many people reading this have experianced earthquakes
(I'm pleased to say that I have experianced a few...I think their rather
fun) but there seems to be a certain type of weather that comes "before" the
earthquake hits. Some of the conditions are as follows...
Slightly muggy; very still (no wind); and often quiet, almost like the Earth
had stopped spinning. The word that best sums it up is "errie." I would
say from experiance that there is also a weird warmth as well...It's just
'odd.'
On a side note, there is a woman up in the North Island of New Zealand who
is rather well known in her district because she can "smell" what the
weather is going to do with very high accuracy. All she does is stick her
head outside and take a big sniff. From that she knows what the weather is
going to do over the next few days. She even said that she can "smell" an
earthquake days before it was going to hit.
