The earthworms want to get away from the soil because they will drown if they dont.
No
Actually, earthworms live in dirt they are more popularly known as just worms but earthworm is the scientific name.ANSWER:No. Earthworms drown in water. They breathe air. After a heavy saturating rain, you can see them on top of the soil and the pavement because the ground has become saturated with eater. Actually, earthworms are a general word for the subclass Oligochaeta, which includes terrestrial, semi-terrestrial, and freshwater worms. Depends on what earthworm you're talking about.
AnswerProbably not, but earthworms have eyes like snails that is only sensitive to light and darkness as how did they know that where they are at the particular place, even on ground (light) or in the ground (darkness). During rain the climatic condition changes to wet and almost dark so, earthworms have eyes just like snails which are sensitive to light and darkness. Some earthworms have eyes like insect so from their protection but they cannot see clearly as they always use to live underground.No, the earthworm does not have eyes, but it does have a mouth.
Around here, when it rains really hard and there is standing water on the ground, the earthworms start to drown. They come out of their borrows and try to find higher ground. Trouble is, they either drowned or can't find their burrows again. So after a big rain there are all these dead worms all over the place. More than what the birds can gobble up in a week.

Asian raindance is a ritual of asian people in which they believe that if they do the rain dance ;the rain will stop .
They breathe by diffusion Diffusion being the earthworms ability to absorb oxygen through its skin from water. Often after heavy rain earthworms will come to the surface which people thought was because they were drowning, but is in fact because as the rain water passes through the soil it losses its oxygen content bringing the earthworm to the surface.
Earthworms come up to the surface during rain because the ground is saturated with water. If they stay underground, they will drown.

My experience shows that raccoons love the rain and love to play in the rain and mud. Rain also brings a lot of earthworms and grubs to the surface and these are some preferred foods of raccoons.
