Ah, true, I'd forgotten about that. That is excellent news, and I'm disappointed it hasn't been bigger news.
The thing about toads pre-empting an earthquake is pretty cool as well.

I haven't heard about the toads, but it makes sense
I like this: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8594101.stm

That is truly awesome
And rather interesting.
Here's the toad story.

I like the last bit.
The ants did not detect the earthquake. Obviously thick as shit, those ants.

I bet those toads are glad they took the evolutionary path they did
I mean it already shows, given it's the toads which eat the ants and not vice versa. And now they're expert seismologists! Just goes to show, doesn't it?
