Except for the bears, I'd wonder how many of different kinds of animals haven't been seen in awhile. If there were a lot of bison in and around the park in the summer, and then all of the sudden they're nowhere to be seen, or they moved away from the lake, I'd take that as an indication that things could be interesting in a short while. It is documented that animals go nuts prior to an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Same might hold here.

So what do you propose to do about it? The end of the world has been predicted so many times that you would think people would learn. If the damn thing blows up tommorow(my bet is it won't) you had a good life. If it doesn't blow up you wasted part of your life getting upset about it.
