Over the years most animals have developed higher sensory perception than humans.Animals can detect differences in atmospheric pressure changes that humans can not.

The idea that animals can predict coming disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc) has been disproven over and over. This is simply a myth. Yes, animals are slightly more sensitive to changes in barometric pressures, and they will sometimes act agitated before a coming storm --- but animals die at higher rates than humans when they are caught in big storms.
Also - our technology does an excellent job of predicting large storms... it is very rare that something totally unexpected happens.

There is an idea (certainly not a scientific theory) that by developing speech, humans relinquished the ability to communicate with the world. If this idea is right then what we gained in language was lost in our relationship to nature.

You are working under the assumption that animals can predict storms... What proof do you have ? If they did, every forecaster in tornado alley would rely on them to save lives.
