How do animals sense natural disasters like hurricanes and tsunamis?

I’ve heard stories about how animals display changed behaviour before natural disasters. What phenomenon in the environment triggers this behaviour in animals? How do they sense imminent danger?

Animals, in addition to being able to gauge changes in the environment, have senses or capabilities of which humans dont. We need help to gauge seismic activity or impending rain or stars for direction, animals have that built into their sensory capabilities. Some animals like turtles are sensitive to electromagnetism which is like a built in compass. It’s truly fascinating.
