A Storm Is Brewing When The Golden-Winged Warblers Fly Away

It is not clear if animals generally flee before an earthquake, but you can count on the disappearance of golden-winged warblers to signify the possibility of a severe tornado. In April 2014, researchers had been tracking birds in Tennessee when they realized they were no longer in Tennessee. After consulting their geo-locators, they came to the realization the animals had flown all the way to Florida! One was even in Cuba. Several days later, the birds returned to Tennessee, effectively completing a 900-mile trip. The researchers believe the birds detected the low-frequency infrasound accompanying the storms.

The air might be clear at the moment, but there will be a low-pressure system that will disrupt it soon. Nonetheless, those halos sure look beautiful.
