    Signs of approaching storms are-
    When crows fly in flocks.
    When there is a blow down in the chimney ie when the smoke blows through the house instead of going up the chimney.
    If animals that are grazing in the fields or the hills leave these places and come home into their "houses."
    To see rabbits out eating grass on a good day.
    To hear Tramore roaring.
    (Tramore is an inlet of the Atlantic, to the west of Horn Head)
