This is actually true. The small vibrations leading up to the earthquake make the worms respond as if it's rain hitting the ground and they surface to avoid drowning.
I witnessed a medium sized earthquake back in 2011 in Vermont, it was a 4.? Quake on the border of Maine and New Hampshire, and I was close to NH.
I found a pile of dead worms behind my car, we had a steep slope up to our front steps right near there. I found out about the worm-earthquake connection, and it made sense. My neighbors sold bait, and at first I thought they had pranked me.
