(3) Low-flying birds, then, indicate that rain is coming. (4) Similarly, houseflies detect this change and move indoors to avoid the downpour. (5) And cats are known to groom themselves just before a storm. (6) In doing so, they are reacting to the static electricity that enters the air before a thunderstorm.
