Default A peasant will not cross himself before it begins to thunder

'A peasant will not cross himself before it begins to thunder'
Is there such a proverb in modern English? We have such one in Russian and it means that a person doesn't do anything before a trouble comes (while it is possible to take some measures). How it can be said in modern English?
