17 Warning Signs Mother Nature Is About to Strike

this is John John seems to attract all kinds of bad weather and natural disasters wherever he goes see for yourself one day John notices his dog is restless the pooch keeps scratching the entrance door and wandering around the house he even tries to hide in the corner howling and barking when some mugs start to clink in your cupboard Jon realizes what it means the noise is produced by four shots many earthquakes leading up to the main event earthquakes often happen in clusters after a few weak Quakes a much bigger one is likely to be on the way sometime before the disaster strikes people might notice bizarre blue lights some of them seem to be coming out of the ground others are hovering in the air these are earthquake lights they may appear days or mere seconds before the ground starts shaking now John is walking along the ocean shore suddenly he sees the water Retreat from the beach really really fast uh-oh John run away as quickly as you can and find some High Ground a tsunami is coming and your life might depend on how fast you react if Jon spots a bizarre and unexpected rise in sea level it can be another sign of an approaching tsunami this happens in 40 percent of cases the incoming water is the first tsunami way the second one way way larger will come in in about 10 minutes John can also notice seawater bubbling swirling and creating bizarre patterns it's another sure sign a tsunami is near huh John feels there's something strange about the Sun through his special super dark sunglasses he sees that there's some uneven flares around the star's Contour if these bizarre rays are accompanied by auroras all over the world they're a sign of a solar storm such storms are usually caused by disturbances in the sun's magnetic field in this case the bursts of gas and radiation on the surface of the sun gets so massive and Powerful that they can even reach our planet luckily solar storms aren't really dangerous for people but they can mess with electricity and even cause blackouts the sky over John's head is darkening and turning ominously green something hits him on the forehead picks up the offending object it's a Hailstone but it's not that cold outside and it's not raining soon he hears Some Noise he is approaching rapidly and turns into a loud roar it sounds as if a freight train is moving towards him but it's not a train it's a tornado the funnel isn't visible behind a cloud of debris but John can't mistake this rotating column of air for anything else are you on the road John then get as far away from your car as you can fast find a ditch lie down in it and cover your head oh you're inside then get away from the windows and hide underground if possible please John be very careful if you spot some conically shaped clouds those mean severe storms and if you notice that such a cloud starts spinning around immediately search for shelter the cloud is transitioning into a tornado right in front of your eyes on the bright side John should only worry about warm conical clouds cold ones are totally harmless the only problem is to figure out the temperature of the cloud he sees the ah look John just spotted some weirdly shaped trees they look like the letter J and grow on a slope it means the ground under John's feet is likely to be unstable if he keeps wandering around it can cause a bad landslide square waves appear when two different wave patterns crash into each other this phenomenon does look kinda awesome no don't go into the water John keep watching it from the shore cross currents in that spot can easily pull even a skilled swimmer under the surface John keeps walking along the shore at one point he sees wild choppy waves carrying ocean debris and seaweed this time he stays out of the water he knows it can be a sign of a strong rip current it can carry a swimmer far away into the ocean how about a walk in the park John likes this idea the sun is shining and the sky is so blue and beautiful suddenly he spots are rapidly growing vertical Cloud at first it looks bright white but as it approaches alarmingly fast it becomes dense and Inky the sky is darkening it's getting windy that's when the guy notices that his hair stands on end it's his cue that he's about to get hit by lightning at this very moment positive charges are rising through his body they're reaching towards the negatively charged part of the storm if he doesn't react fast these charges will meet there's nowhere to hide so John should Crouch down and try to make himself smaller than the objects around him oh no John don't lie down on the ground it may be damp and thus a great conductor of electricity there are other signs that scream danger during a lightning storm John's Palms May begin to sweat he might hear bizarre crackling and buzzing sounds coming from metal objects nearby his skin can start tingling there might be a strange metallic taste in his mouth plus Jon is likely to smell chlorine that's how ozone smells electrical charges split the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen which are the main gases making up the atmosphere into separate atoms when these atoms come together again some of them produce molecules made up of three oxygen atoms that's ozone we can smell it during a thunderstorm because downdrafts bring this gas from high altitudes to your level some bugs can feel a storm coming they get ready for a natural disaster by freezing so when John notices that insects around him look drowsy he knows to get ready oh and bees can predict heavy rainstorms these Critters begin to work much harder the day before it starts raining while walking next to the river during a period of heavy rains John hears a roaring sound he feels paralyzed with fear it's likely to be a flash flood moving in his Direction indeed he soon sees debris coming down with the flow the water is rapidly changing its color becoming muddier and darker flash floods are very very dangerous take care of your safety immediately John another day John sees a spectacular wall cloud it seems to be stretching for up to five miles in the best case scenario it's just a severe storm coming but if the wall cloud begins to move in a circle it's a sure sign of a tornado John is walking across a snow field in the mountains listening to The Sounds the ice under his feet makes the noise is kinda Hollow hmm quickly check whether there are Cracks around your Footprints John if so the chances are an avalanche is about to happen soon John sees an avalanche moving in his Direction he does his best to get off the slope in most cases he could probably run it by heading downhill and then veering sideways but not this time he realizes he doesn't have enough time and heads for the nearest tree if John keeps holding on to it really tightly the Avalanche might not follow him along but if this doesn't work he should try to swim up to the snow's surface while the Avalanche is still moving on a pretty nice summer evening John notices thieves with soft stems droop all of a sudden ah it might be because of an upcoming storm right before extreme weather arrives the air usually becomes more humid leaves also get damp and heavy and the wind easily flips them over John lives in a pretty old house and is used to having cracks in the interior walls but one day he notices that some of them have widened and look there are a few new ones it's an alarm Bell he lives in an area with loads of limestone so new cracks can mean a sinkhole is about to open next to his house John is hurrying home trying not to waste time admiring shelf clouds they look like something from a Sci-Fi movement they form when warm and moist air gets caught in a thunderstorm updraft and these ominous clouds most often mean a storm is coming okay picture this in the not too distant future you're heading out on a space vacation and you need to decide which items are worth bringing along but instead of checking the weather forecast you open a gravity simulator that's because you need to know how each object will behave on different planets for instance should you take this metal shovel with you or not well according to your itinerary it's going to be a long long trip you're planning to visit every planet in the solar system and even a few moons but due to the difference in gravity on these space bodies you're not sure how useful some of the objects you're going to bring along will be well let's start with the basics Tupperware I don't know about other space Travelers but us earthlings carry our Tupperware around everywhere we go and still if you were to transport it to let's say Mercury it would most likely Fly Away into the atmosphere these plastic containers you use to keep your food are too light and consists the gravity on Mercury is two and a half times weaker as gravity on Earth well maybe you'll have to fill your plastic containers up before taking them out of your spaceship to have a picnic if a tupperware container weighs about a half a pound on Earth it'll weigh just a quarter of that on Mercury now if we add some bananas a handful of baby carrots and two watermelons then it'll be safe to carry it out of your space vehicle you'll just have some difficulty making it all fit in in a standard size container but wait before you do that you should know that the atmospheric temperature on Mercury can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit this means that any plastic container will instantly melt as soon as it gets in contact with the air it'll burn up all the food too you can probably try taking a titanium container that will work or just stick to astronaut food now shall we say Venus okay Venus if you were to take the same empty container to Venus it would behave similarly to how it does on on Earth this is because Venus is also known as our planet's twin these two have much in common for example almost the same size and mass and when the topic is Gravity the formula goes like this the bigger the mass and the greater the density the stronger the gravity Venus's gravity is approximately 10 percent weaker than Earth's so yes you may leave your spaceship with your container empty or full and enjoy a beautiful and Scenic lunch on the surface of Venus now you'll have to figure out a way to eat without taking your spacesuit off though the atmosphere of Venus is filled with sulfuric acid which can irritate your nose and throat and cause difficulties in breathing or Worse much worse now you'll have to forget about taking anything to light outside on Phobos a little hint for you it's not a Greek island not even Greek yogurt although it's a cool name it's actually one of Mars's moons here even your spacecraft would need a little extra help to keep close to the ground if it weighed as much as a school bus any regular sized person could pick it up with just one hand this is because on Phobos the inhabitants of Earth barely feel the weight of gravity and be very careful when jumping around because one Leap and you may fly straight into outer space passengers on board the Voyager spaceship please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times well you're approaching Jupiter a gas giant a never-ending storm is Raging in its atmosphere plus there's no solid surface there which means no Landing for you on this planet if you look out the window it might seem that you are moving through a giant Cloud but for the purpose of your experiment it'll work just fine try throwing into the air that baseball you brought along in case you get bored of all the space travel and measure the time it'll take the ball to hit the surface if on Earth the ball will fall at a speed of 32 174 feet per second on Jupiter the same ball will hit the ground at a speed two and a half times greater than that that's because Jupiter is more than 10 times as large as Earth and around 300 times as heavy as our Blue Planet now if you move your spaceship just a little bit to the side to one of Jupiter's moons Europa the situation will be completely different throwing a baseball in the air on Europa will mean never seeing it again gravity There is almost non-existent which means that not only a baseball but even a grown-up person can fly away any second now on the other hand if you decided to venture out of the spacecraft to explore europa's gravitational field why not try to lift the space vehicle itself on Europa a regular Earthling can easily lift up to one thousand pounds which is the equivalent of a full-size male moose or you can lift a pyramid-like formation of nine regular people ah the choice is yours When approaching Saturn be careful while from afar Saturn's rings look smooth and solid from up close you'll notice that they're made of chunks of eyes and rocks floating in space you won't want to have your spacecraft anywhere near those there's also no solid surface on Saturn which makes Landing impossible and the atmosphere is full of ammonia keep in mind that it's a pretty inhospitable environment for a human now inside the spaceship you find a collection of sci-fi books enough to fill an entire bookshelf altogether they must weigh around 400 pounds yep that many books and like someone with a superpower you try to lift over 200 pounds of weight at a time but guess what you fail because Saturn's gravity is too similar to that on Earth now in case you got confused with all this gravity talk when we're measuring gravity we're speaking about the power of the force by which a planet or other space body pulls objects toward its Center so if you need some help in organizing that sci-fi collection in alphabetical order ask the crew to move the spaceship to a neighboring space body with a weaker gravitational pull like a Pluto these days it's not considered a planet anymore just a dwarf planet and one of the furthest from the sun's space bodies you'll need an extra warm spacesuit to wear there Pluto is freezing cold and has a tiny surface it's smaller than Earth's moon but it's a great place to test your strength if on Earth it's kind of impossible for a regular person to lift an elephant on Pluto you'll be able to pick up a baby elephant weighing around 265 pounds or even a medium-sized elephant that can be as heavy as 2 000 pounds on your way back to Earth you make a pit stop on Uranus the cold is planted in our solar system has an average temperature of around minus 350 degrees Fahrenheit so if you attempt to get out of the spacecraft you'll freeze mid-movement although gravity on Uranus is pretty similar to that on Earth there's one thing that's very different time a two-week Getaway on Earth turns into a three year long vacation on Uranus now when you get sick of cold planets you can travel back to warmer ones okay now Mars is definitely warmer than Uranus but its average temperature is still about minus 81 degrees on Earth we only have such low temperatures at the South Pole during the winter when you land on Mars you'll start to feel light and strong at the same time Mars's gravity is about 2.5 times weaker than that on Earth so in other words you'll probably manage to lift your own body weight without any difficulty so all those handstands you've been dreaming of doing you've found a place to fulfill your dream about 8 billion inhabitants of planet Earth found out the same terrible news in one day someone saw it on TV others heard it on the phone while scrolling through social media or listening to music some witnessed this news in a dream while sleeping someone's voice said it in all languages to ensure everyone understood it I have good news and bad news for you let's start with the bad news you're all characters in YouTube videos in which your planet gets into a situation where the moon breaks in half for the audience it will be a hypothetical story but for you these events will become a reality the good news is that I was joking there's no good news but don't worry the apocalypse won't start on your planet maybe just a little bit have a nice day at first the entire population panics then a few days later everyone calms down maybe it was a mass hallucination and the moon will be all right but at this moment scientists have discovered the danger a colossal meteorite is flying towards us from the distant depths of space this meteorite is super fast and pretty flat but has sharp edges fortunately it will miss the Earth by a few thousand miles but the moon won't be that lucky the meteorite flies through our Earth's only natural satellite directly in the middle so it passes through the moon sweeps past our planet and flies away into distant space at this moment all people can't take their eyes off the Moon the meteorite cuts it perfectly in half gently clearly painlessly so what shall we do now will the Earth survive this our satellite breaks into two equal parts but fortunately they don't fly away from each other the moon's great gravity attracts them back like a magnet scientists are sure that the parts will connect in a couple of billion years and the moon will become the same as it used to be but the coolest thing is that people won't feel any changes everyone around the world will celebrate this good news the voice was wrong but then another problem appears a massive meteorite in the form of a shoe is flying from the deepest space to us it enters our solar system and approaches the Earth at high speed the space boot crashes into one half of the Moon and then flies away now the Moon is definitely breaking into two parts the first half remains in the same place the second one is flying towards us a small meteor shower begins on Earth because of the Falling Moon fragments but it's not so bad most of these rocks are burning up in the atmosphere but almost the entire split off half is falling apart around the orbit of our planet it forms a stone belt now the Earth is like Saturn rotating fragments destroy part of our artificial satellites communication and the internet work inconsistently it takes people a couple of years to restore a stable connection the International Space Station no longer exists luckily all the astronauts managed to return to Earth before half the moon got to them so moon rocks are flying around the planet and people see half the moon in the sky life doesn't change much for the first few days but those who live on the coast of the Seas and oceans notice the consequences the moon used to influence the tides it was flying around the earth and made oceans take an oval shape there were tides on the side where the moon was closer there were Ebbs on the opposite side but now this schedule is wrong half of the Moon attracts less water yes the moon lost half its weight and began approaching the Earth but its gravitational force has become weaker seabirds many species of fish sea turtles and other Coastal animals may not survive these changes their Natural Instincts associated with the moon helped them determine the time for getting food breeding and flying south for example tiny turtles expect a strong tide in the morning they run to the water but the water doesn't reach them Turtles can't hide in the ocean in time and become dinner for seagulls crabs can't lay eggs because the tide has started earlier than usual wolves go mad in the woods they howl loudly every night and can't stop the whole natural world can't understand what's going on the human body is also feeling some discomfort many people have low and high blood pressure and some experience severe headaches half of the Moon changes the entire ecosystem of the planet adapting to new conditions will take several tens maybe hundreds of years a couple of weeks pass and people notice the days are now shorter the moon always slowed the Earth's rotation and made one day last 24 hours the Earth is spinning faster now the night and the morning come earlier than everyone is used to earth rotation speed has increased and reduced the number of hours per day to 15. people suffer from insomnia or over sleeping the body needs time to get used to it work schedules are changing all over the world previously people came to the office at nine and left at six now they arrive at seven and leave at 2 pm sleep time got shorter and people are really sad because of this progress slows down because the short working time the Technologies of the future are now 20 to 30 years late hourly pay Remains the Same so bosses now pay less for fewer working hours the whole Moon stabilized the weather and climate on the planet look at Mars it has two small moons they quickly spin around it and rock Mars around on its axis as a result strong winds sandstorms and thunderstorms often happen on the red planet now the half of the Moon that approached us takes the Earth out of stable rotation this changes the seasonal temperatures in the world it even gets hotter in hot places and snow storms are raging in cold regions there are short massive downpours instead of sunny weather a typical Breeze can grow into a hurricane and small waves into a tsunami the seasons are changing faster now Winters are colder and summers are hotter changing the rotation of the planet affects the Earth's magnetic field since the compass and navigation systems are unstable now we need to recalculate where the north and south are Birds can't fly south to wait out the winter since they don't know what direction to fly their inner Compass is broken several hundred years have passed people are entirely accustomed to the new conditions on Earth new species of animals and fish have appeared birds can navigate the Sky by the moon again the planet's economy has been restored hourly wages have become higher people now get enough sleep from five to six hours a day and work for four to five hours the reduction of day and night has also affected the entertainment industry movies now last one hour one episode of some TV series lasts 30 minutes life goes faster an average person now lives to be 96 years old in fact the passage of time hasn't changed at all its calculus did several thousand years have passed people look different now now they have big eyes that absorb more light half of the Moon doesn't shine as bright as the whole thing so the nights have become darker it took the human eye a couple of thousand years to develop the ability to see clearly in this new dark animals need to navigate better in these conditions so their eyes have become larger and more sensitive during all this time people have cleared the orbit of moon rocks several space stations fly around our planet and again people hear this strange voice that once told them that they were all characters in one hypothetical YouTube video this time the voice says your story ends because the video ends I'm sorry good night
