Lala my GSD is quite afraid of the weather and storms and she gets quite antsy if there is a storm brewing. My geese goes crazy as well, but I suspect it might be excitement in their case, they do love a good storm.
While growing up we stayed in a town with a lot of gold mines and the resulting earthquakes. The animals would usually "tell" you if it is coming. The dogs would go mad and then all of a sudden a complete silence follows, it is so foreboding. A few seconds later the shakes start.
Their keen senses would be the source of this early warning system as well as their intuition.
