Bizarre Weather Cases
---------------------
A 2ft-long alligator fell from the sky at Evansville, Indiana on May 21,
1911, landing on the front doorstep of Mrs. Hiram Winchell's home. When the
animal tried to crawl inside, it was clubbed to death by Mrs. Winchell and
neighbors armed with bed slats.
A deluge of dead birds tumbled from a clear sky on to the streets of Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, in November 1896. The only plausible explanation was that
the birds, which included wild ducks, catbirds and woodpeckers, had been
driven inland by a storm on the Florida coast and had been killed by a
sudden temperature change over Baton Rouge.
Following weeks of drought, a storm broke one afternoon in August 1814 over
Fremontiers, near Amiens in France. In the rain which accompanied the storm
were dozens of tiny frogs which began to hop around on the ground. Live
frogs also landed on Leicester, Massachusetts, in 1953, tumbling into
gutters and on roofs.
On May 11, 1894, at the height of a hailstorm, a gopher turtle encased in
ice fell on Bovina, eight miles east of Vicksburg, Mississippi. During the
same storm, a small block of alabaster, also encased in ice, landed on
Vicksburg itself.
A crop of peaches dropped on a building site at Shreveport, Louisiana on
July 12, 1961. The workmen confirmed that the fruit was coming from the sky
and not being thrown. Weathermen said that conditions that day were not
conducive to the peaches having been carried by strong winds.
Lost
----
Driving to a new restaurant, a woman took several wrong turns. When she
finally found the right road, she asked her husband, "Why didn't you tell
me I was lost?"
"I thought you knew where you were going," he replied. "You always know
where you're going when I'm driving."
Lobsters
--------
Two lobsters were sunbathing on the beach. The lady lobster suggested that
the gentleman lobster to get them an ice cream each. Having purchased two
ice cream cones, Mr. Lobster made his way back to the beach, deciding on
the way to eat his ice cream. By the time he has finished the ice cream he
realized that his lady friend's ice cream had started to melt all down his
claw, so he licked it up and ended up eating it. When he arrived back at
the beach his lady lobster friend exclaimed, "Where are the ice creams?"
"Well" he said. "I decided to eat mine. Then yours melted, so I ate that
too." His lady friend was incensed and cried, "How could you be so
shellfish!"
