All of these floods are freaking out the animals. In the midwest, the rivers are so swollen, and currents so strong that the carp are totally flipped and now hugging the edge. To the point where, if you were dumb enough to stand at the edge of a raging river, you could reach out and touch the carp. Just what they need - a human petting them - in case they weren't sufficiently stressed. (as reported on NPR)
And then this morning, the front page picture/article covers the devastating typhoon in the Phillippines. But the picture isn't your usual people on makeshift rafts, but rather pigs fleeing the flood. I don't know what panicked pork is like, but I imagine it can't be good.
