Pigs may not be flying, but fish are falling!

OK, guys! I have to know if this has happened to anyone else, ever. Yesterday afternoon around 6:00 I went outside to get something out of my car that was parked in my driveway. Nothing unusual. Went back in, and back out 20 minutes later when my daughter drove up. She and her husband were walking all around their truck laughing, and asked me where I got the fish. Well........there are like 3 newly dead fish in my drive, and 30 - 35 more scattered in mine and my neighbor's sideyard. Out of the back come a group of electricians working on my neighbor's gazebo, and they're freaking out, saying these fish just dropped from the sky! The fish are all different sizes and species! A few shad, bream, little tiny ones, and hand-sized ones, too! Is this freaky, or what???? I read online that sometimes these things happen from them being sucked up into a waterspout, and then have been known to be dumped up to 100 miles away! We're about 6 miles from Lake Conroe here. I live in a gated community, so can't imagine anyone driving up and coming down my long driveway to dump some fish and then run away!

With that said....I'm taking this as a good sign! Pigs may not be flying....."YET".....but our Saints are fixin' to win a Super Bowl! (No I was NOT drinking, and YES, I took pictures)!
