I think their research is so worth it, even if it saved only one life, that's one more life saved than there would have been with no warning at all. Animals are incredible creatures and we should listen to them.
I think anything someone is curious about ought to be studied because you never know what we might find. It's a shame that so much research never happens because people have started to believe that not all curiosity is worth spending money on when you literally never know what we might discover if we sought out to study something that just seemed interesting.
And watch them.
So I've always been fascinated by earthquakes because I grew up in Southern California during the 1980s and 1990s, when we had quite a few earthquakes that got one's attention. My bedroom window used to face the San Andreas Fault (although I did not know exactly where the fault was at the time because I was a little kid and only knew it ran somewhere around my house). My parents used to make me go to bed FAR before I actually felt tired so I used to just quietly look out my window at night and wait to get sleepy.
Staring out my window waiting to feel sleepy was actually much more interesting that it sounds because I used to see these bright blue flashes coming right up out of the ground at the bottom of the mountain. I was fascinated by them because, from my vantage point, I could literally see them coming up out of the ground and not coming from anything humans had put there. It used to happen so often back in those days the I'd literally be watching the bottom of the mountain every night when I stared out the window because sometimes they would occur a couple of times a week.
When there were a lot of them, there would often be an earthquake within the same week or so to the point that made mention of it to my parents because it seemed connected to me. They blew me off, of course, and I was definitely around ten years old or so when I first said something about it.
Anyway, during what is still the largest earthquake I've ever felt, I saw the same unique quality of blue light flashing in through my window. I can't say for sure if it came from the ground because I was hiding under my bed from the earthquake, but the blue color is very distinct so I assume it was probably the same lights that I had seen before when I didn't feel any earthquake. That big earthquake wasn't on the San Andreas Fault either whereas the flashes I saw at least in that direction were coming up right where I later learned the fault is. I have also seen similar green flashes of light coming from the San Jacinto Fault but I didn't see those as much because I couldn't see that fault from my window.
Siince earthquakes tend to get recorded on some camera in our modern day, I have since seen this same kind of thing happening during earthquakes all over the world and getting recorded on cameras and some other places have different colors of them. Interestingly, the colors seem to be the same ones found in the aurora so it really piqued my interest when I read a paper several years ago about how those scientists had found a very strong correlation between increased solar activity and noteworthy earthquakes. I think this would be a really interesting thing to study and perhaps people should be looking at security cameras even when there isn't an earthquake to see if there is any kind of pattern as to when those flashes occur and earthquakes instead of us just really only seeing the recordings that happen to show them because they also show an earthquake. In any case, even if it has no bearing on earthquakes, it would sure be interesting to know what those are. I'd study it myself but I ended up becoming a biologist and just taking a number of geology classes in college out of interest.
You could always get a second degree. They would both complement each other, too.
I've seen videos of the flashes you mentioned before earthquakes that were caught on camera. I think earthquakes did occur every time you saw the flashes when you were a child: they just weren't strong enough for you or anyone else to feel them or do any damage.
Were you living in the area when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit? That was along the San Andreas fault, which I'm sure you're already aware of. If you were in the area, how did it affect you and your family?
BTW, if I were you, I'd show my parents videos of the flashes of lights before earthquakes and say, "I told you so!" 😅
Listen to Nature!!
Yet we're so reliant on technology that we refuse to believe stuff like this.
Most animals feel it before it hits hard. Humans included. If humans paid attention better then they'd know.
Humans: "ignore/deny and maybe it'll go away".
I used to hear the earthquake coming before even the initial p wave would hit when I was a kid. It was this really high grinding sound and then you'd start to hear the actual first little shakes of the buildings as the wave came your wave after that first terrible high grinding sound. Then I think everyone could probably hear the big shaking sound of buildings shaking once the s waves were coming towards them.
@@whoever6458wow! That's really fascinating. I don't live in an area where there are large quakes like CA. I'm not complaining about that, of course. I've only "heard" earthquakes from people's personal recordings on YT. I'm surprised at how loud they are!
Idk about humans. But then, I don't live in an earthquake-prone place either. There are, however, several videos of cats and dogs hearing/feeling the earthquake right before it hits.
If we were more in touch with nature and the earth - we could probably predict these events also.
I’ve always been a firm believer that animals can sense an impending earthquake regardless of what the USBS states and the so called professionals
When the Boxing Day tsunami happened, not a single animal was killed, except for the ones that were chained up.animals were observed going up hill away from the ocean.i think we should pay closer attention to their behavior.
When you figure it out maybe you can show us how to turn water into wine...
I Do Really Believes Animals Knows First Than Humans Cuz They Are First In This Planet While Its Forming On What This Planet We Have Today
With the cow's choking themselves by pulling on their chains, why were they chained up in the first place? Who chains cow's to something?
Right? That's very bizarre!
