Big Wind [duchas:4600260]

When the sky is red in the west
When a cat tears wood
When the clouds move quickly on the sky
When a noise is heard in the trees
When the sea gets noisy
When a horse gallops in a field 
When a donkey Brays 
When a sea bird (called the kettywich)
Comes inland
When the owl hoots loudly at night
