I am sitting here in the Miami airport waiting for my flight to AK and just thought I'd pop in to share an interesting little nature thing that is happening here in South Florida.
It is literally raining lizards here!!!
Yesterday in Key Largo my dh had a big iguana fall from a tree and nearly ht hit him on the head . He was out cold! (the lizard, not dh!) and I had a near miss with an anole (much smaller).
The poor things are just not used to this cold weather and are falling from the trees in a catatonic state--all over the place!
I've heard of raining cats and dogs before, but this is ridiculous!

Oh, my. I bet that is a sight to see! Do you know if they are coming to after falling?

Very interesting, Theresa! Thanks for sharing. I found this past article on Fox News addressing this issue. Sounds like they do come to after they warm up, Lisa.

I needed to smile today...and the thought of being hit in the head by a catatonic iguana was just the thing...my boys are out hunting frozen lizards now!

That is wild.

Seriously.

Somebody write a picture book about it. That would be hilarious!
