Scientists discover that birds can hear tornadoes long before they form...

This is fascinating.


Songbirds Can Hear Tornadoes Long Before They Form

Scientists have found that tiny, golden-winged warblers can detect a storm before The Weather Channel knows its coming.


In April, a massive thunderstorm unleashed a series of tornadoes that tore through the central and southern United States. The 84 twisters decimated homes and buildings, causing more than $1 billion in damage across 17 states. In the wake of the natural disaster, 35 people lost their lives.


Now, scientists say a peculiar event took place just two days before the storm: Flocks of songbirds fled the area en masse. Many golden-winged warblers had just finished a 1,500-mile migration to Tennessee when they suddenly flew south on a 900-mile exodus to Florida and Cuba. At that time, the storm was somewhere between 250 and 560 miles away. The researchers said that the birds somehow knew about the impending storm.


“At the same time that meteorologists on The Weather Channel were telling us this storm was headed in our direction, the birds were apparently already packing their bags and evacuating the area,” Henry Streby, a population ecologist from the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement. He and his research team had been examining the birds’ migratory patterns when they made their discovery.

That was a cool read.

I think they know because they are tuned in to God, and God gives them a warning. But since today's scientists won't even consider this as a possibility, because they work with the assumption that God does not exist, they have to come up with other ways to try to explain it.

For in him we live and move and have our being, as even some of the poets have said. Even the birds are created by his word. None fall from the storm clouds outside of his will.
