Harbinger

If the tide suddenly goes out and the ocean disappears, it could be a harbinger of a tsunami.
It may be time to RUN!


Word of the Day: Harbinger

A harbinger is someone or something that indicates something bad is going to happen soon.

After the massive earthquake and tsunami in Thailand a few years ago, most people now know that if the ocean along the coast suddenly recedes, it could be a harbinger of a coming tsunami, and they should run for the hills.

As a less severe example, if the sky starts to cloud over, it may be a good time to end your picnic and head for home because the clouds could be a harbinger of a coming storm.

It’s not a lot of fun to have a picnic in the rain.
