Let me know if you start hearing about a localized eclipse over Los Angeles that doesn't go away for a long time. Fire falling from the sky beforehand would be a bad sign too.
Otherwise, just keep yourself stocked on crossbows and axes, you should be fine.
You'll know what to do should I ascend to my throne built upon the backs of death and destruction, whithered pleas of mercy, and the abject sorrow of humanity.
Oh, also:
Okay, somebody had to:

Good luck finding one these days.
Erm, this is a Star Trek board, isn't it?
The weatherman on the local Fox affiliate was mentioning tonight that it seems like when the east coast gets hit by bad weather Seattle gets the it's best weather, and it's kind of true. We hardly had a real summer before August, and we're having a relatively long (10 days or so) run of low to mid 80 degree weather, basically Seattle's summer has come now, in September. So at least in Seattle it's not the apocalypse unless you count the fact that we've had little rain fall in the last 50 days which has dried everything out and the warm streak is causing a possibility of forest fires.
Oh...and look at it this way: At least your town wasn't listed as one of the major cities likely to destroyed by nature, mine was and they didn't even mention the ticking time bomb that is Mt. Rainier. Then again we all know most cities on the pacific rim are due for a 'big one' if they haven't had one recently.

Yes, because America is the only country in the world.
The OP sort of has a point. Certainly in my brief lifetime I don't recall so many natural disasters taking place with the kind of frequency we've seen in recent years. Just look at the pounding Japan and New Zealand have taken over the last 12 months.
Add to that the hurricanes, heatwaves and other harsher weather we've seen globally recently, and you can see why it could be seen as a lot of "shit happening" in short order.

Hey, I'm no Geographer, but if you look at this map of the world:
That's all I can see!
Reading about the wildfires in Texas that are now apparently literally the worst ever I can't help but thinking "why does the Lord hate Texas?". Maybe Perry should pray some more.
When's the Yellowstone super volcano due to erupt again?

Wow, they sure lied to me in school. Alaska is not the biggest state.
Perrys a dickweed. Dont get me wrong, he was the best person for the job for the last couple of Elections, but only in a devil you know, or lesser evil kind of way. to be honest, I wish Bush would not have run for President, I know that there are a bunch of people on here who dislike him, and as for as his Presidency I can see their reasoning, but the man made a Great Governor.
anyway, it sure feels apocalyptic here. Fires and Drought, to the point were people are practically Begging for a Hurricane.
also, Texas is the biggest state in the Union, we just sold a part of it to the Union before we joined so that other states wouldnt feel so intimidated!!!

You guys with your straight state borders make me giggle. I always imagine a completely pointless pencil line drawn across deserts and prairies, with no human being in sight for miles and miles. 
actually, your right, and there is this place out in the middle of nowhere between Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado that is literally out in the desert, and there is a little monument there where the four states meet.
or, more closer to home, there is Texarkana, a town that is literally bisected by the Texas-Arkansas state line

Well, not literal pencil lines, but yeah, that's pretty much how it happened.You guys with your straight state borders make me giggle. I always imagine a completely pointless pencil line drawn across deserts and prairies, with no human being in sight for miles and miles.
For many places it may have simply been "annoying". For Vermont, it was the worst flooding in 100 years, cutting off numerous small towns (including Killington Ski Resort) from all road accessibility.
Just sayin'.
