It is not possible to predict an earthquake yet. But many scientists believe animals can predict earthquakes. Before the 2004 earthquake (that trigged the massive tsunamis) reports of elephants becoming restless and running to high ground came about, and pets refusing to go outside, etc.

If a major earthquake happens, aftershocks can occur for months, but still scientists cannot predict when or how strong or even where the exact location of the aftershock will be.
