Sometimes I feel we get warnings. We ignore them at our risk.
A few examples :
Years ago I jumped off a trampolene, using that method I used to use when cross country running and jumping over fences.
For some reason I got it wrong and fell down hard. I lay on the ground trying to work out what went wrong. No idea at alll. I realised I was lucky to not injure something.
About a few weeks later I jumped over a fence the same way. Fell down and broke my wrist.
Just before jumping I hesitated, then jumped !

A brother of mine and I discuss warnings we get when driving. A close call is telling us to slow down a bit. Just watch it a bit closer. leave more of a gap.

A mate of mine had a bad motorbike accident. He'll never be the same again.
A few weeks before it happened, he lost control of his car and drove right through a mob of kangaroos. A few of the bounced off his car. No damage was done, that was his warning though.
Unfortunately he did not realise it.

If a warning is given, just sit back and think about it for a wee time.
Maybe go a bit slower, don't do that again, go a different route, be aware of what occurred.

I agree with warnings.  Sometimes we need to slow down a little, think a bit and exercise caution.
There are often signs that we don't take much notice of and then later when an accident/incident occurs we wonder why we had been so blind

On a slight tangent, I thought about that tsunami.
I was completely unaware a tsunami does that sort of thing. ie sometimes start by a huge outrush of water.  In all likelihood had I been there I would have ran into the area that was ocean like other people.

My thought was, if something really strange and unusual happens, run in the opposite direction.
