NO there is no way to predict them and there is no such thing as earthquake weather.Researchers are exploring many methods are being explored including the study of animal behavior as well radio noise. A product that had been sold in home improvent stores claimed to act like a fire alarm. In reality it was triggered by the first part of a quake known as the P-wave. This 'detector' would only give a couple of seconds at best and would alarm if doors are closed hard or thumping music going down the street. spend your money for a flashlight and bottled water.
