Earth worms suiciding on my drive way.
Hendersonville, NC here. For about the past week about 50 earth worms have died on my drive way. The only time I have seen something like this is when there have been heavy rains. We are almost in a drought situation here so that is not the reason. Very puzzling. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Drought? In NC? Don't you all have Biblical flooding there right now from the hurricane?

That is on the coast, I'm in the mountains. Water restrictions begin in my county on Monday.

Earthworms are nocturnal.

When it rains some species come up for hanky panky and some of them die of exhaustion.

Some species use the rain to help them migrate to other areas where the soil is more nutritious. They hear the vibration of the water on the surface and realise that this might be a good opportunity to leave for greener grass.

That's just it, we have not had any rain to speak of. I'm 63 years old and have never seen anything like this. I wonder if there is some kind of vibration in our area that is mimicking the rain? I am unaware of such a vibration in our area.
