4. old Indian "stories"
I'm a writer and spent a good deal of time researching the history of a local mountain. There are "legends" that surround it that speak of a tremendous flood. In this story, it tells of how all of the animals ended up on the top of this mountain during the great flood that occurred. When? We don't know but I suspect maybe around 1500 or so (perhaps?).

Animals know when the shit is gonna hit the fan way in advance and they quickly disappear. I've noted this during the many earthquakes I've experienced as a native of California.

Never underestimate the power of nature nor animals. We have a lot to learn and in my opinion, we are the inferior species; native peoples excused.
