Charleston, South Carolina.  A beautiful place in the South.  I have never been there, but I can visualize it.  Duirng the summer it must be humid.  Green, leafy trees.  Ladies and gentlemen sip ice tea on their veranda.

In 1843 there was a storm, lightening flashed.  Torrents of rain fell from the sky, lightening and thunder crashed.  People ran for shelter and carried umbrellas. 

And then plunk.  An Alligator rained down as well.  A big green lizard.

What happened next is not well known.  My hopes is that someone named it George and took good care of this magical and mystical flying creature.
