Strange phenomenon occurred before the earthquake in China, a flock of birds flying "black in the sky" predicted disaster?

The 6.2 magnitude earthquake that recently occurred in Gansu (China) left at least 131 people dead. Notably, a few days earlier, people saw a strange flock of black birds flying in circles in the sky.

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the movements of some animals: When it's sunny, if ants suddenly move to a high place, there will be rain, and monkeys will naturally pull groups up into big tree branches, which is a sign of danger. An earthquake or a change in the habits and behavior of birds is a sign of a storm or tsunami...

There is no shortage of anecdotes about massive and unusual evacuations of mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and insects that take place even weeks to seconds before natural disasters strike.

The clearest sighting was the 6.2 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Xishishan district, Linxia province, Gansu province, China at 11:59 p.m. on December 18. The epicenter was in Lieu Cau town. The earthquake claimed at least 118 people in Gansu and 11 in Qinghai, damaging water, electricity, transportation, communications and other infrastructure.

According to local media, this is the deadliest earthquake to occur in China in nearly a decade, since the earthquake in Yunnan province that killed about 600 people in 2014.

Worth mentioning, two days before the earthquake in Gansu, some people took pictures of a large flock of black birds flying in the local sky. Images taken in the evening show a large flock of black birds appearing on the street, some of them flying in circles at low altitude, while the rest of the black birds cover the power lines.

This is a rare phenomenon that happens very rarely, so it has attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately after the Gansu earthquake occurred, images of black birds spread widely. Many people believe that this is a warning sign of natural disasters because in history, there has been a lot of evidence of animals sensing natural disasters earlier than humans and exhibiting strange behavior within a few years. weeks to seconds before an earthquake.

In 1975, a similar phenomenon occurred in Hai Thanh city (Liaoning, China). Despite extremely low temperatures and freezing water, many snakes raced to slither out of hibernation in the weeks before the 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit Hai Thanh on February 4 of that year. .

The reptile's unusual behavior, along with other incidents, convinced authorities to evacuate people from the city hours before the disaster.

Animals also behaved strangely before the historic 7.8 magnitude earthquake on July 28, 1976 in Tangshan industrial city, Hebei province, China. This disaster leveled almost the entire city, claiming the lives of more than 700 thousand people.

Within a few weeks before this disaster, fresh fish in Tangshan was sold in abundance and very cheaply. Fishermen said that before and after July 20, they saw many types of fish floating up, very easy to catch.

Hooc Thien Hoa, a resident of this city, recalled that on July 25, 1976, 3 days before the earthquake, he heard a strange noise at the fish pond, ran out to see and saw a school of fish jumping. High above the water, some jump straight into the sky, spinning like a spinning top.

That same day, Truong Ho Hieu, a crew member, saw a hissing noise around the boat, then a flock of green dragonflies flew to the boat and filled the boat, but no one moved or caught them.

One day before the earthquake, Mr. Truong Huu and many other people in Binh Thon town, Thien An district, Duong Son saw a mother bird swallowing her baby bird's nest and flying away. Many people in the district also saw dragonflies and grasshoppers flying in flocks spread over a hundred meters wide.

On the same day, Mr. Vuong Cai Son in Loan Nam district, Duong Son saw a group of mice in the garden running around in panic, many large mice carrying small mice running frantically as if looking for shelter. At a cooperative warehouse near Duong Son, someone witnessed more than 300 rats coming out of their burrows and gathering together.

At midnight on July 27, a few hours before the terrible earthquake, Mr. Wang Tai on the outskirts of Tangshan city was surprised to see four ducks in front of his gate, craning their necks, calling and flapping their wings, following him haphazardly. Use your beak to pull on his pants leg as if to say something. As for Mr. Truong Bao Quy in Loan Nam district, he couldn't sleep because the cat in the house screamed miserably. When given food, he refused to eat, kept screaming and running around.

That night, many people heard unusual barking of dogs and horses took off their reins and ran wildly onto the highway. And at 3:45 a.m. on July 28, 1976, an earthquake that was considered to have "destructive power equivalent to 400 atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima city" occurred.

According to The Washington Post, videos filmed in Turkey show that before the earthquake that killed more than 7,800 people in Turkey and Syria in the early morning of February 6, 2023, when it was not yet dawn, many birds flocked. They all came out of their nests, flying everywhere and making noises above the houses.

In 2016, about 15 minutes before the 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Oklahoma (USA), people also witnessed thousands of birds rushing out and flying in the air as if sensing something terrible was about to happen. arrive.
