  1. Some people can foretell thunder by the clouds, which they see gathering over the horizon on a warm day. When the air is very heavy and hot, it foretells the coming of thunder.
    When crows fly towards the east early in the morning it is a sign of thunder.
    When a cat lies on a bag.
    When two rats are seen running after one another.
    When the edge of the sea seems to be breaking away.
    When the smoke stays about the house.
