Anecdotal Evidence......or not?

Many years ago a big tornado hit the Cincinnati area. Came mighty close to our house but did not hit us.

I had been reading that evening, not watching television, had not heard any sirens........yet.......

When it was time to go to bed, our Brittany spaniel, whose bed was on the floor beside ours, would not settle down. She was pacing and pacing and it was not because she needed to go outside. In fact, she did not want to.

It was weird and Mr. Boomer was out of town.

Finally, for some reason, maybe for distraction, I turned on the television and sure enough it was one of the local weather guys with, "GO TO COVER!"

Often animals seem to know first.

Maybe check with your dog.
