Whenever there's an earthquake or a particularly large Monster of the Week coming, this will often be demonstrated subtly (or not so subtly) by showing a small object (like a lamp or a small pile of coins) vibrating, then jumping around as the vibrations get stronger (or the monster gets closer). Alternatively, this can be done with ripples in a pool of water. Sometimes the camera starts shaking (and possibly the people, too), for added emphasis.
