Know The Natural Warning Signs

• Feel
• Do you FEEL the ground shaking severely?
• Strong earthquakes may cause tsunamis. RUN to
  high ground if you feel strong shaking.
• See
• Do you SEE the water withdraw an unusual
  distance?As a tsunami approaches land, the ocean
  may pull back a long way from the shore, exposing
  the ocean floor, reefs and fish. RUN to high
  ground if the sea withdraws.
• Hear
• Do you HEAR a strange roar?A roaring sound from
  the ocean is sometimes heard before a tsunami
  arrives. RUN to high ground if you hear a strange
  roar.

Tsunami Facts How They Form, Warning Signs, and
Safety Tips

• Tsunamis do not necessarily make their final
  approach to land as a series of giant breaking
  waves. They may be more like a very rapidly
  rising tide. This may be accompanied by much
  underwater turbulence, sucking people under and
  tossing heavy objects around. Entire beaches have
  been stripped away by tsunamis.
• The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami could rank as the
  most devastating on record. More than 200,000
  people lost their lives, many of them washed out
  to sea.
• The Pacific is by far the most active tsunami
  zone, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and
  Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). But tsunamis
  have been generated in other bodies of water,
  including the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas,
  and the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. North
  Atlantic tsunamis included the tsunami associated
  with the 1775 Lisbon earthquake that killed as
  many as 60,000 people in Portugal, Spain, and
  North Africa. This quake caused a tsunami as high
  as 23 feet (7 meters) in the Caribbean.

Earthquake

• How to Know Naturally when Earthquake Will Strike
• No one can predict when an earthquake will
  strike, but if you stay in an earthquake prone
  area, you have to depend on these age old
  indications of the animals and try to go to a
  safer places the moment you notice any behavior
  aberration among the animals.

storm

• Powerfull storm
• Powerful storms such as thunderstorms,
  hurricanes, and tornadoes are generated when
  warm, light air rises quickly into higher, colder
  levels in an unstable updraft that can reach over
  100 miles per hour. Each type of storm forms
  under specific conditions hurricanes occur over
  moisture-rich oceans and coastlines, for example.
  They draw their energy from warm ocean waters.
  Understanding the conditions that give rise to
  powerful storms is the key to preparing for their
  devastating effects.
• Thunder and lightning
• At any given moment, there are an estimated 2,000
  thunderstorms in progress over Earth's surface.
  These storms can vary from relatively mild
  rainstorms to very damaging storms that feature
  hail and high wind. Thunderstorms form when warm
  air rises from Earth's surface and moves upwards
  quickly into the colder levels of the atmosphere.
  If conditions are right, tornadoes can form from
  this rapid updraft. Normally, however, the result
  is rain, wind, lightning, and thunder.
