I remember a time, probably in 1988 or so... I was young and in my 20's and didn't ever think watching the news was a priority in my life. Well, one morning, before I even had dogs, I had a big Siamese Cat named "Spi" (short for Spider).... well, Spi was meowing at the top of his lungs & sitting on his "cat tree"... So about 6:00am this morning I stepped out of bed wondering what he was meowing at, into a WET CARPET!!! My first thought was "why did he pee outside his litterbox???!"
So I walked around my bedroom in this 1st floor Duplex and it was ALL WET!!! Spi had nothing to do with it! "Something" had come and rained during the night, and the rain was contained within the privacy fence of the duplex I was renting and flooded my apartment.
Now, I guess it was Hurricane Gilbert. (so it took me 20 years to figure it out? What a "duh" head I was in the 80's? LOL!!!!!!!
I was young, dumb, and not a blonde, but a silly brunette!)
I never watched the news then,... I only Party'd like it was 1999 (Prince), so I had no clue back then what was going on in the world.
My Siamese Cat probably had more sense than me back then...!!!
