We had a housemaid whose family was in Leyte, that province which was hit by the strong typhoon in 2013. She said that before the tidal wave occurred in the early morning of that fateful day, her family was wondering why the chickens were noisy and the goats were making sounds as if they were hungry. Her parents tried to ignore the animals because it was already raining hard. But when their dog started barking continuously - not about an enemy but seeming scared - our housemaid's father looked out the window to see afar that floodwater is rising. He didn't know that the water was the aftermath of a tidal wave which the weather bureau called storm surge. Thousands have died due to that storm surge.
It's hard to believe that animals can sense danger. But old folks would tell us that animals have a 6th sense when it comes to survival.
