Raining ducks

[makeithappen]

Last night we got hit with quite a bit of marble sized hall and had a tornado a few miles away. I walked around the house this morning to check for issues and found this mature gadwall firmly planted into the mulch in the flowerbed.

I checked the security cameras and in between lightning strikes, the duck appeared in the flowerbed. It hit with such impact it blew out all the mulch down to the weed matting and feathers were stuck to some of the mulch. I'm guessing it was knocked out by hail and terminal velocity occurred. I'm just glad it didn't hit the house or gutter. I've never seen it rain cats and dogs, but I've seen it rain ducks!

You ought to send that to one of the Lacys at channel 9.

It only rained mud here, so I guess I should be thankful.

Rough night for all. Poor thing. Every moment we get is a blessing.

Nah. He'd been dead about 11 hours when i found him. To warm to consider it.

I had a frozen Canadian Snow Goose in my yard after a storm a lot of years ago when I lived in Tulsa. Also I had a bank deposit slip with a $20 bill attached to in in my yard after a huge mile wide tornado went through Wichita Falls, TX back in the early 70s. I never could get the phone number on the check to connect after 6 months of trying.
