Worms Fall from the Sky in Jennings |
2007-07-16 |
Jennings Police Department employee, Eleanor Beal was just crossing the street to go to work when something dropped from the sky. The sky wasn't falling. She says it was worms, large tangled clumps of them. Beal says, "When I saw that they were crawling, I said, 'It's worms! Get out of the way!'" She even called her co-worker outside to prove she wasn't making it up. Sure enough, she saw worms, and globs of them. Where they came from is a mystery, but some believe that Eleanor Beal says she hopes she doesn't see it again. |

#6 Charles Fort to the white courtesy phone, please. 'It's worms! Get out of the way!' One of the all time great lines. I want to see it in a movie. |

#4 Hey, my hometown made the Burg. 10,000 pop. adjacent to I-10 and located in the middle of vast amounts of agricultural and marshland acreage. This wasn't the first time live critters got dropped on the town by a waterspout/tornado. Long time reader, first time posting. Love the Burg. Keep up the good work, guys. |
