K... this happens to moi more times than I'd like to admit. I don't like it one bit, even scares the cr@p out of me at times.

Should we start calling you Neo? You've broken out of the matrix and can see it all for how it is?

This kinda thing reminds me a story told by Mick Molloy about one of his many Red Dust trips up north into local aboriginal communities.
He told a story about how he was in a pub, yep, who'd thunk it, up North somewhere and over the course of a couple days all these aboriginals started flocking into town en masse. Multiple tribes who basically had no communication with eachother, no technological access to weather data or anything. All 'randomly' started coming to town. Imagine, all of australias capital cities coming to Melbourne at the same time, for seemingly no reason.

Through a few beers and catching up with the locals over a period of days, they all said there was huge storms coming. Traditional reports showed nothing out of the ordinary, rain definitely, but not end of the world stuff like they were suggesting. Now, i cannot recall the exact details and timeframe on this, but they were right. Not sure if there was a cyclone or just mass flooding, but it caught everyone (read - white people) by surprise as nobody predicted it. However, the aboriginals just kinda knew.
That was intuition on mass.

Post script to that story, Mick Molloy asked when he could next come up for a visit and asked one of the elders if he could come back in 6 months time, around October or whatever it was. The elder went and had a chat to other elders and came back to him and said better make it (lets say) December, as there would be more massive storms throughout October that year (much more than what would be considered normal). Mick agreed. Sure enough, in October, more massive storms and flooding.

They can also predict the type of storms coming based on how the rain feels when it hits their skin. This is not about being able to tell the difference between a light shower and a big downpour while you are in it, but rather whats to come in terms of duration and ferocity.

Ask them how they know, they can't tell you.
