Many on social media are claiming that this earthquake in Nepal-India was predicted by some scientists and astrologers. All these claims invariably comes after these catastrophes, never before. The fact is, in spite of all advances in science, till now there is no technology to correctly predict an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
It's said that animals could sense tremors coming and history has records of them behaving in a weird manner before earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. A friend of mine who was studying Engineering close the location of the famous Latur earthquake in 1993, remembers dogs whining and cows mooing, hours before the shudders of tremors came.
Unfortunately animals cannot communicate this clearly enough to us humans to take precautionary measures. Hopefully from 26th April, someone can predict these natural disasters in advance, saving many invaluable lives.
