Can dogs really sense if a tornado is coming? If so, has anyone ever witnessed this and what happened?

Answer 1

most Animals can i know my brothers dog when i was walking him once went nuts when a girl was coming towards us how ever not at her when she came up to me she was scared not of the dog but she felt she was being followed and the dog never shows aggression to any one before then. we flagged down a police car and there was the exboyfrend of the girl in the bushes. it was scary. the guy had a knife on him too. thank god for dogs that's all i can say if i had not walked him that day i would hate to think what could happen.

Answer 2

Many case reports cite instances of animals' behaving in strange ways before any natural phenomena occurs,but few scientific data exist on the matter.

Domestic animals,dogs and cats in particular do have hearing and sensory capacities that are greater than ours.It would not be surprising if they were able to sense these kinds of things better.

Their hearing is more sensitive and covers a wide range of frequency and they have a much better sense of smell.Meteorologists say that storm winds may carry smells from other areas and temperature and humidity differences that are detectable(particularly by animals) far in advance of any actual precipitation,and even human beings sometimes say they can smell when snow is coming.That is especially true of certain kinds of heavy snow storms accompanied by winds.
