Page 3 of A Rain Of Birds

their twentieth wedding anniversary, so it must be true.

  While this story may sound fantastic, much of what has been described here has really happened.

  The Mississippi River really did run backwards, not once, but twice in recorded history. Earthquakes in the New Madrid fault zone caused the disturbance.

  Animals, especially birds, have been known to "rain" from the sky due to volcanic action, storms, high winds, human interaction, or even for completely mysterious reasons. Beebe, Alabama experienced a rain of birds in 2010. According to newspaper accounts, hundreds of spangled perch fell in Australia in the same year. The people of Honduras have believed in an annual rain of fish for decades and there appears some scientific documentation of the phenomenon may actually exist. In other times, rains of snakes, frogs, birds, fish, and even eels have been reported.

  The Army Corps of Engineers really does use dynamite in many of their projects. In 1927 a huge flood on the Mississippi River led the Corps of Engineers to dynamite a levy.

  Catfish can indeed grow to the size of a young boy. Blue catfish grow up to about 120 pounds and about five feet in length, though that's kind of rare. Blue catfish don't usually live in the Snake River, but they could. Catfish live all over the globe. They have a habit of migrating. They love to live in muddy rivers and can eat almost anything.

  I found all these facts on the internet. Bet you can too. Just remember, don't believe everything you read.

  Keep an eye out for Flat Fax and the Book of Doors audible book, coming soon and Flat Fax and the Door of Books, due out sometime this summer.
