Folk signs about natural disasters and catastrophes

A flood, a hurricane, a storm, an earthquake are catastrophic events, as a result of which people lose their homes and die. But nature, animals and birds always tell humanity that something bad will happen soon. Unfortunately, people do not listen to the prompts, do not have time to prepare or leave the place where the disaster occurs.
