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?

Surely this is simply pressure, humidity and temperature changes? Human beings are quite capable of sensing the same things “directly” (i.e. without weather satellites). I’m sure if you found an old fisherman that had recently survived a tsunami they’d be able to tell you they noticed the change in the weather beforehand.
