An earthquake is probably the least of their worries

I have seen enough DAIKAIJU EIGA (Japanese monster movies) to know something very bad is about to happen to TAIWAN.
Local fishermen caught a "King of the Herrings" or "King of the Dragons" yesterday -- a 16.5-foot fish that usually spends its time in the deepest waters of the pacific.
"It was the first time I've seen the legendary king of dragons over the past 30 years," one of the fishermen said, before cowering someplace safe with the rest of the frightened townspeople.
Why are they cowering?
The species, Regalecus glesne, is considered an "EARTHQUAKE FISH" in Taiwan because its rare appearances in fishing nets is thought to coincide with seismic disturbances on the ocean floor.
Of course, there could be another explanation for the sudden appearance of the fish.
Locals also call the species
"MESSENGER FROM THE DRAGON PALACE."
Perhaps the message is:
"Take cover! Prehistoric monster from the ocean floor is on the way!"
Well, I can always dream, right?
