...dance. Though its origins are steeped in legend, the hula is thought to have been brought to Hawaii by Polynesian immigrants more than 1,500 years ago. The stylized hand and foot gestures are meant to mirror natural phenomena like swaying palms and waterfalls, and are always accompanied by rhythmic chants. Grass skirts, leis and decorative ferns, nuts and shells, are intended to symbolize the integration of nature with Hawaiian life.

A bit of subterranean rustling doesn't mean that a great earthquake is imminent, of course, but the tsunami warning signs...
