SIGN OF NATURAL DISASTER?

I read an article in the Daily Chilli about frogs hogging the roads in a town in Greece and causing the highway to close.  To the Chinese, the mass migration of frogs or other animals could be a sign of a natural disaster about to happen. 
Read the article below about the frogs.

FROGS FORCE CLOSURE OF HIGHWAY

Greek officials say a horde of frogs has forced the closure of a key northern highway for two hours.

Thessaloniki traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou says "millions" of frogs covered the road Wednesday near the town of Langadas, some 4km east of Thessaloniki.

"There was a carpet of frogs," he said.

Authorities closed the highway after three car drivers skidded off the road trying to dodge the frogs. No human injuries were reported.

Thanoglou said the amphibians probably left a nearby lake to look for food.
