    When the smoke from a chimney goes straight up it is a sign of calm weather.
    When the sky is read after the sun setting is is a sign of good weather.
    When a cat tears the bark off a tree it is a sign of a storm.
    When the clouds get dark there is a sign of rain.
    When there is blue flames in the fire it is the sign of a storm.
