A Hurricane Is On The Way When Sharks Swim To Deeper Waters

It’s common, but when you find yourself out in the middle of the ocean and notice sharks heading for deeper waters, expect a tropical storm or hurricane to approach. They likely sense the barometric pressure drop that accompanies the weather disturbance so they try and go out of the danger zone. It might not be what Jaws taught you, but sharks do not actually go out attacking humans on the regular. They actually make their safety a priority, so do not go around believing that those photos of sharks in streets and flooded malls are real! These are smart creatures who have evolved for millions of years, after all.

Head For High Ground When You Hear Rushing Water

If you happen to be near a river or a stream during the rainy season, make sure to keep your ear out for a roar of rushing water. When this happens, go to high ground as soon as possible. It might mean a flash flood is going to happen. Did you know they are the second deadliest form of severe weather in the United States? Trust us, you do not want to get trapped in them. They are powerful enough to roll boulders, uproot trees, drag bridges, and level buildings. The reasons behind flash floods can be failing levees, broken dams, and heavy rainfall.
