Earthquake clouds are clouds claimed to be signs of imminent earthquakes.

In chapter 32 of his work Brihat Samhita, Indian scholar Varahamihira (505 – 587) discussed a number of signs warning of earthquakes: Unusual animal behavior, astrological influences, underground movements of water, and extraordinary clouds occurring a week before the earthquake.

Since 1990, Zhonghao Shou, a retired chemist in California, has made dozens of earthquake predictions based on cloud patterns in satellite images. Stress and friction in the ground can vaporize water long before the earthquake happens, according to Shou, and clouds formed through this mechanisms are distinctly shaped.

An alternate theory, espoused by proponents of the Electric Universe model, states that some earthquakes may have electrical characteristics, including auroral phenomena, radio or VLF noise, etc. 1

For earthquake prediction, mainstream scientists rely mostly on seismology instead.

Sorry, there is no way to predict earthquakes, especially from something as unrelated from clouds. Real scientists have been trying for decades to study precursers and nothing is reproducable.
