Bad weather, floods, storms, tornadoes, etc. has been happening for thousands of years, there was just no internet or 24 hour TV to report it.The way the weather has changed in general there is no safe place anymore. Now it seems whenever the temps are around 70F we are pretty well assured of bad storms.
Farmer across the road from us, does same. Our cats are pretty good indicators as well.My father watched the farm animals to determine when a storm was coming .
