earthquake

Earthquakes are arguably the most terrifying of all the natural disasters due to their unexpected nature - unlike tornadoes or hurricanes, it's nearly impossible to plan for an earthquake or know when one is about to strike. This particular earthquake, which occurred in Japan in 2011, was followed by a tsunami and the infamous Fukushima reactor meltdowns. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan.

And of course, we gotta give props to the brave person who filmed the whole terrifying event from an airport!

They all seemed to be alerted of the mass quake, at the exact same time, one second before things began to shake! They also, surprisingly, react way more calmly than us human do... it's quite interesting

A year ago, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake hit Osaka in Japan, wreaking havoc across the city. One of those affected by the quake was the CAT Café CATchy in the neighboring prefecture of Wakayama. The video below is a good example of how animals can detect seismic activity even before it hits.

Check out the insane video footage that's surfaced from an earthquake in Manila, the Philippines. Yikes! Would not want to be in that swimming pool when this went down...
