My wife swears one of our dogs ( Simba ) goes strange before a quake...... i wasnt persuaded....
Well about an hour ( or an hour and a half, couldnt say for sure ) ago, she calls me over to look at him, and he was acting kind of stangely. Unusal posture and restless, extrapoling you could think he was trying to tell us something.

Excerpts from a story in today's DR1 News: https://dr1.com/forums/showthread.p...Tuesday-16-October-2018?p=1918139#post1918139

Polanco says science cannot yet precisely forecast when and where an earthquake will take place, but it can identify the areas where this will occur. He explained around 1 to 20 micro earthquakes occur each day in the country, and areas such as the eastern, northern and southern zones are more prone to these tremors. He said that while the country has not suffered a major earthquake in a long time, the factors for a major earthquake occurring are in place.

Among recommendations for preventing damages in case of a big earthquake are:
Secure belongings.
Brace all bookcases, storage shelves, put latches on cabinet doors, file cabinets.
Fasten water containers, heaters and other appliances that could fall.
Store hazardous materials in a sturdy place.
Secure picture frames, bulletin boards and other wall-mounted equipment to the walls using closed screw-eyes to prevent falling.
Keep fire extinguishers handy.
Replace rigid plumbing supply lines and couplings with flexible braided lines and flexible couples to reduce the chance of rupture.
Brace mechanical equipment such as air conditioning equipment and water heaters to the wall/or floor to prevent overturning or shifting.

87% of all bookcases in the dr have been made safe........ just another 12 bookcases to brace, and that will be 100% of dominican bookcases made safe ;) ;)
