Weather Myths

How Myths are Created

• Myths are created in some different ways. Sometime somebody has nothing better to do than to make up a crazy story and claim it’s true. Another more common reason is that a story is passed down, growing more different every time. Maybe a story of part of a barn’s roof getting ripped off turns into a whole barn being lifted off the ground and being carried halfway across town.

Myth 1 Flying Horses !!

• A hurricane in Great Bend Kansas flew five horses half a mile to the next town. The horses were still attached to the same fence.

• Supposedly on February 2nd if a groundhog sees its shadow it’s 6 more weeks of winter. But if it doesn’t it is the end of winter.

• True or False

• Thousands of frogs fell from the sky in France in 1804.
