We spoke about the animal-related signs of earthquakes, but did you know that when gold-and-grey golden-winged warblers fly away in droves, a massive tornado could be approaching?

Following a quick scan of their geolocators, the experts discovered that the birds were now taking refuge in Florida, with a single outlier spotted in Cuba. Later that week, the flock returned to Tennessee, accomplishing nearly 1000 miles of travel. Experts believe that these little warblers picked up a low-frequency infrasound being emitted by the storms. We obviously cannot sense such fine frequencies, but our feathered friends can.

It all comes down to observing the snow itself while stepping on it. If it seems hollow, and makes a strange “whumping” sound, you should then look around for cracks throughout the surface. Further, if avalanches have occurred recently in the area, or heavy rainfall or snow – these factors may also create an avalanche.
