Recognizing These Natural Disaster Warning Signs Will Save Your Life

Cracked Snow

Unless you’re an avid mountain climber or an extreme climate explorer, this isn’t a typical phenomenon that you’ll have to look out for. However, if you live near, or on a mountain, these are some seriously important signs that you should look out for, provided you’re in avalanche territory. If the snow above you is starting to crack, almost as if there is water running through it, you should get as far away from where you are as fast as possible. This is an indication that the ice layer under the snow is not structurally sound, and this can send massive pieces of ice and rock down the mountain right at you and your house if you're not careful enough.
