On this day:
FISH FALLS
On February 11, 1859, in the village of Mountain Ash, Aberdare, South Wales, thousands of living fish fell from the sky during two violent storms, ten minutes apart. The dense downpour took place only in the area around a lumber yard, where many fish were found on the roof. Specimens between one and four inches long fell during the first bout, and others up to five inches long fell during the second. The town curate reported that collected samples were preserved in both fresh and salt water and that those in the saline died. Fish were collected by locals and sent to the British Museum, where Dr. John Gray, keeper of zoology, identified them as minnow and sticklebacks. In February 1839, again in Aberdare, there were two fish falls, ten minutes apart showering the same spot, an area twelve yards by eighty yards.
In 1947, freshwater fish fell in Marksville, Louisiana, during foggy but calm weather. They were a local species, and many were collected for the evening meal.
In 1965, on an Alabama farm, a couple watched a small dark cloud form in the sky. It began to downpour over a concentrated area of 200 square feet for fifteen minutes, while the cloud turned from black to white, raining live catfish, bass, and bream. There had been no unusual weather previously.
In 1985, Fort Worth, Texas, fish fell from a dark cloud following thunderstorm activity. Observer Louis Castoreno commented, "It scared me. When you see fish coming down out of the sky, and there's nobody around, that's scary." Thirty-four fish, each approximately two inches long, were of the type that Castoreno had unsuccessfully fished for in the local Trinity River.

Sherian Grace Cadoria (born January 26, 1943, in Marksville, LA) is a retired Army officer. She became the first African-American woman to achieve General rank in the Army in 1985. She was the highest-ranking African American woman in the military at the time of her retirement in 1990 with the rank of Brigadier General. She is a graduate of Southern University and holds a MA degree in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. Initially, in the Women's Army Corps, she transferred to the Military Police Corps in the 1970s. She was the first female to command an all-male unit of military police. She was the first woman to lead a criminal investigation brigade. She was one of two women first selected to attend the Army War College. She served as an aide to President Ford and was later selected as a full colonel to serve in the security division for Army Europe and the 7th Army in Mannheim, Germany. From the cotton fields of Marksville to having her own office to command in the Pentagon, she says she believes she has fulfilled the calling of God on her life. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4YJW6LPqH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vincent Simmons case: A woman casts doubt on account of teens who say they were raped
Vincent Simmons case: A woman casts doubt on account of teens who say they were raped
In 1977, Vincent Simmons was convicted of two counts of attempted aggravated rape in Marksville, Louisiana, and was sentenced to 100 years in prison after twin sisters Karen and Sharon Sanders accused him of raping them. At the time, the twins were 14 years old, and Simmons was 25. Simmons has always maintained his innocence, and after being sent away to prison, he fought for decades to have his…

Location post @witchyreveries
Location: Central Louisiana, US
Name: Mollie
Age: 22
Craft & other: I practice secular witchcraft, mostly weather related right now, but I also work with sigils, crystals, tarot, and pendulum dowsing. Religion-wise I struggle to find a good definition, but I’m pretty much a soft polytheist. When I work with a deity I always find myself going back to the kemetic pantheon.
Contact: @ireverie is my main and @witchyreveries is my side blog for witchy things. Feel free to message me on either. If email is easier for you, DM me and I’ll give you that address.
