A fish story

My mother told me about this Friday, and I just have to share it...

The tornado that hit Mena, AR first formed over Latimer County OK, not far from my parents' home... it DID touch down, but only briefly. During the very short time it was on the ground, something very interesting happened. It traveled over a catfish pond... according to my mother's friend it sucked almost all the water out of the pond, leaving catfish flopping all over the place... no sooner did the tornado itself pass, then the torrential rain and hail start.. the pond was filled to about half in less than 5 minutes! Mom said when she went out there, the pond was about half full, and those were some very very active fish!

Can you imagine how ticked off those fish were???

Yup, that's how it started here last week as well.

They'd be some lumpy catfish. I remember years ago, a friend of mine got caught in a brief hail storm while out fishing with shorts and no shirt, and not much cover to get under. He had welts all over his body.
