Disaster movies are fun, but when they happen in real life things don’t look so adventurous and appealing anymore. The last thing you want is to be caught in the middle of a massive storm that you weren’t expecting. The good thing is that nature has its own ways to communicate when disaster is about to strike. If we’re aware enough, we can spot it and find different ways to avoid dangerous phenomenon and protect ourselves. Make sure you read through the entire article as each one has the potential to save your life or someone that you love. Be it square waves or funnel clouds, these are the signals nature is sending that should never be ignored!
​A Patch Of Trees Bent Into A J-Shape
Now, not many of us are lucky (or unlucky) enough to experience this occurrence. Have you ever been on a hike in the middle of the woods, when you suddenly saw a few trees bent into a j-shape? Well, if that’s the case, you might have just escaped a pretty bad situation. J-shaped trees are a sign of an upcoming landslide.
It means that the ground moves very slowly, resulting in each tree growing in a very unusual shape. It also means that a potential landslide could happen at any moment, especially if there has been one there recently. So next time you go on a hike, stay alert, and be ready to go hike somewhere else if you do happen to see something similar to this image.
​Beware Of The Ocean When Its Level Drops
When on a walk on the beach, we don’t usually pay attention to the little details of the sea. The sea’s immensity is marvelous, and that alone is usually enough to keep us distracted. But sometimes if you’re on a walk on a beach along the Pacific Ocean and the water suddenly starts receding, trouble may be coming.
In fact, you should get yourself to high ground as soon as you can, because a tsunami could be on the way. Tsunamis usually form around an earthquake that takes place underwater, displacing the water above. When that happens, waves can move as fast as 500 miles per hour, which is basically the speed of a jet plane.
