- it is told to us by the old people that if there is a blue light in the fire it is a sign of wind. It is also said that if a cat scrapes , or if a dog eats grass , or if a donkey roars is a sign. of storm .
It is said if bad weather comes with the new mon it will continue so until the end of the month. It is also a sign o storm if there is a ring round the moon.
When there is going to be a storm , sea hounds and mermaids usually come to the very of the sea, and if you go round the shore when a storm is approaching you may see them .
